Steven R. Drennon was born in Lawton, OK, where he first started writing poetry at the age of 15. Since then he has collected nearly one thousand poems that he has written over the years. Those poems have recently been released as six separate volumes of poetry. He has also added two collections which include additional poems that had never been previously published, resulting in all of his poetry being available to the public for the first time ever.

In addition to this, Steven published an epic fantasy novel titled "Rise of the Raven" in the spring of 2011. Another fantasy novel titled "Three for Avadar" was released in early summer of 2011. Steven more recently released two suspense novellas titled "Desperate Love" and "Shattered Vows" in 2012, and he expects to release another in 2013.

Currently Steven lives in San Antonio, TX.

May 6	comment	How independent were the Eastern European countries from the Soviet Union? Actually, it might be better to split this up into multiple questions. As it stands right now, it is simply too broad in scope.
May 4	comment	Where can I find financial data for the first world war? In its current form, this question is not a good fit for this site. Any question that solicits the creation of a list of source is unacceptable. The individual questions you gave as examples, on the other hand, would be a perfect fit. I have to close this question, but I would strongly suggest you ask the other questions separately.
Apr 21	comment	What motivated foreign volunteers to help Iraq in Iraq-Iran war? I am going to close this question for a couple of reasons. First of all, we need some way to verify that this picture actually fits the question. Second, the way the question is currently worded it is open to speculation and opinion, which is not an appropriate fit for the site. If you choose to modify the question I will consider reopening.
Apr 17	comment	Could Columbus have suspected the New World lay on his path to India? Sorry, but I don't see any way that this question could be answered without speculating. I agree that it would be a better fit for Skeptics.SE.
Apr 8	comment	In the US Civil War, what factors contributed to the Union having such a numerical advantage over the Confederacy? @Tom Au - My concern now is that the change has made the question one that is more likely to be answered subjectively. The only way I can see it being answered is with specualtion, rather than facts. It's almost like saying "If the south had tanks and bazookas, could they have won?" I'm osrry, but I still don't see it as a good fit.
Mar 17	comment	What options India had other than getting its independence from Britain? I'm trying to see how the edits have made it any better, but I'm still having a difficult time seeing any answer as anything but subjective. The question itself poses several suggesting on what could have happened, which still seems a little leading. In the end, I just don't feel confident that the question truly has an objective answer that isn't driven from speculation. Convince me otherwise and I'll gladly change it. !
Mar 10	comment	Recommended order for reading Horatio Hornblower series? Sorry, but your question does not really fit here. I am going to have to close it, but if you decide to modify it so that it fits our format better, I will consider reopening it.
Feb 21	comment	How many non-partisan (independent) legislature members were in the USA compared to the USSR? This question is being locked because of the excessive number of comments. If you guys want to have a discussion, take it to the chat room. I have also deleted some of the more volatile comments that had devolved into personal attacks. Future comments of that nature will result in the individuals being blocked or accounts suspended.
Feb 7	comment	Does (or did) any monarchy have a limited length of tenure? Guys, if you are going to carry on a debate or discussion, then you need to take it to the chat room. You can leave a message there and then the other person can respond at their convenience, just as you have been doing here. The comments section is not intended for this use. All other comments were deleted, and if you start it up again, future comments will also be deleted.
Jan 21	comment	What kind of armor did the soldiers use in pre-gunpowder Southeast Asia? From what I read, it appears to be a lack of materials and expertise more than anything else. They didn't appear to have much expertise in metalworking, and I would assume that their exposure to European style armor was very limited.
Jan 16	comment	When and where did first handicap care system start? The question itself seems fine, but the commentary in the body of the message seems to be a problem. It really needs to be cleaned up and edited in the form of a true question.
Jan 4	comment	Pitfalls to avoid in writing about the English Civil War Welcome to History SE. I am going to have to close your question for a number of reasons. First, your question is way too broad to be answered with a single question. We need it to be more specific and targetting one topic. Second, this type of question is likely to cause considerable discussion or debate, which is a violation of our guidelines. SE sites are not intended as discussion forums, but rather as direct question and answers. If you would like to reword it, we will consider reopening. In the meantime, please consult the FAQ for more details.
Jan 3	comment	How did Israel win the Six-Day War? I'm sure that the Egyptians and the Syrians were under the impression that the Israelis were getting the same political pressure and as a result wouldn't attack. From what I remember of that period, I also don't think the Egyptians or Syrians had much respect for or fear of the Israeli military at that time.
Dec 20	comment	Scientists who became major political leaders Sorry, Yannis is right. Even if you ask about only one specific type of scientist, you are still asking for a list, and not an answer.
Dec 19	comment	Who is responsible for the partition of Palestine? First of all, welcome to the site. The reason your initial post was rejected was most likely because it was too short. We prefer that the questions asked here have considerable substance and are specific about the information being requested. I would suggest modifying your question to make it a little more robust, while also removing the irrelevant content that permitted you to make it through the filter. :)
Dec 17	comment	What was the reason of extreme anti-Communism in the first half of 20th century? I've received a couple of flags suggesting this is not a real answer. I would disagree with that, but I would say that this is not a very good or very complete answer. The whole reason for allowing you to downvote an answer is to send a message about the quality of the answer. That is why I have chosen to downvote it rather than delete it.
Dec 11	comment	What is the basis of Russian criticism of Antony Beevor's work? You guys need to keep in mind that SE is about providing clear and concise answers. It is NOT a forum for discussion or debate, and it is NOT a forum for OPINION. This question is overflowing with all of these things which are clearly stated as being outside of our guidelines. I am going to block this question from further comments. I am not trying to be "heavy-handed", I'm just trying to enforce the rules. If you don't understand which rules, then please consult the FAQ. If anyone would care to dispute my assertion or discuss this further, bring it up on the Meta site.
Dec 11	comment	Is this absolute timeline correct? "Do you agree or do you think this would just be confusing to kids?" Questions like this are most likely to be answered with opinions and discussions. One person may say yes while another says no and a third says maybe. Sorry, "but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion", which is straight from the guidelines. I don't see it as a good fit.
Dec 11	comment	What is the basis of Russian criticism of Antony Beevor's work? Sorry, but based on the number and types of comments, I have to say that this question is only generating a lot of opinion and discussion rather than truly objective answers. I'm leaving it closed. If the comments and discussions continue as they are, I will also block it.
Dec 11	comment	Is this absolute timeline correct? Sorry, but this question can't really be answered objectively, so I have to close it. Any question that is likely to solicit opinion, discussion, or debate is not appropriate for this site. Please read through our FAQ to get a better idea of the kind of questions that are accpetable.
