edit data

Stephen A. Roddewig is an author from Arlington, Virginia. His latest feat of cutting back from four to two cups of coffee a day has convinced him that he is superhuman, and his membership in the Horror Writers Association hasn’t disproven that belief.

When not pushing the bounds of human endurance, he has published four dozen short stories and three novels. Mostly, though, he spends his time reading incredible war fiction from William Peter Grasso while cycling in the gym and cooking like his savings depend on it. You can find more of his speculative fiction and comedy at stephenaroddewig.com ...more

Six months after A Bloody Business first hit shelves/trash bins, I’m back with my next book The Opening Salvo. This time, it’s the start of a full-blown trilogy centering on title character Dick Winchester, a man of action who lives by his own rules, drinks to excess, and never strays far from his gun.

Whoever thought a novella could kick so much ass in so few words? Oh, man, what a ride. Definitely didn't think the start of WW3 could fit into a couple hundred pages, but I was wrong. And let's just a take a moment to appreciate the outward aesthetics ...more
