Steve S. Saroff divides his time between Western Montana and Northern California. He is the author of Paper Targets and The Long Line of Elk and many traditionally published short stories that appeared in Redbook and other national magazines. A runaway who became a computer coder who started and sold tech companies, he has helped artists, writers, musicians, and a few good actors start careers. He also helped launch Submittable, the submission system used by many publishers, and he founded FreeMail Inc, the first commercially successful web-based email system (FreeMail was acquired just before WorldCom and Enron's multi-billion-dollar criminal fraud and collapse). He is the host of the podcast Montana Voice.
