Steve Kittner was born and raised in Elkview, West Virginia and spent his youth in the hills and along the muddy banks of the Elk River; fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, biking and playing ball, as kids of his generation did. Upon graduation from Herbert Hoover (1980),Steve worked in the oilfield, and then found himself in the airline industry for the next twenty-one years in four different cities. In 2007 Steve moved south and now, co-owns a small business with his wife, Valentina.

Of course, Steve also works as apart-time author. Writing is a hobby that he has enjoyed most of his life, having written a few stories as a young boy, one of which was displayed in the old Sunrise Museum in Charleston. His roots are deeply planted along the Elk River in his beloved West Virginia and his novels come straight from the heart as well as from some of the experiences and adventures he had as a boy. He pours a lot of himself into every story.

These days, Steve resides in Central Florida with his wife and children…and is still up for a good adventure every now and then.
