Steven L. Ririe
I'm a passionate storyteller and historian who likes to bring forgotten tales to light. I enjoy writing both non-fiction and historical fantasy fiction.
I'm the founder of the Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial Committee, where I teach facts I uncovered about a classified 1955 plane crash near Mount Charleston, Nevada, leading to long-overdue recognition for the fallen.
My written works blend history, imagination, and deep moral questions, and I hope to draw readers into stories of courage and resilience. When I'm not writing, I volunteer in a prison ministry and advocate for historical preservation.

Only one thing stood between me and my dream of becoming a creative writer: I couldn’t do two things at once.
Buy books on Amazon
Upon retiring from my career in marketing communications, I decided to devote my full attention to writing fiction, thereby solving my multi-tasking challenge.
I began my creative writing journey by enrolling in the online Writers’ Program offered by UCLA. In a series of courses taught by professional writers, I learned how to craft memorable characters, create colorful worlds, and outline suspenseful plots enriched with drama and conflict.
Taking one baby step at a time, I managed to bridge the gulf between writing promotional copy in short bursts to rendering full scale novels. As an interim step, I wrote three screenplays.
