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 fifty 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

Stephen A. Roddewig liked Austin Day's review of Old Earth (The Horus Heresy, #47): "For a story seemingly about Vulcan, there's a whole lot of "not Vulcan" in this novel.
