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.

Jun 6	comment	Explosive Ordinance Yield Over History Could you please clarify your question? Are you asking about the yield of explosive devices over time, or the effectiveness of firearms in controlling crowds throughout time? Explosive ordnance would not be used for crowd control (normally), so the two seem to be at odds with one another. Please clean it up to be more specific or break it out into two separate questions.
Jun 6	comment	How did the US/South Vietnam lose the Vietnam war? There were a number of comments on this question that were starting to get out of hand, so I deleted them. If you guys want to have an off topic conversation or discussion, please use the Chat room. If this continues I will have to lock the question and all responses.
May 30	comment	Did any of the 50 Destroyers swapped for bases with Great Britain in 1940 sink any Axis military vessels? Here is a link to another question which I just converted to a community wiki. Most of the answers provide links to openlibrary.org, which in turn provides links to a number of vendors. I think this is a better way of handling these types of situations. history.stackexchange.com/q/1623/85
May 30	comment	Resources on the History of African Civilization I appreciate the links to openlibrary.org rather than linking to a sepcific vendor. Also, I am converting this to a community wiki since it really doesn't fit our question guidelines. Since the information is relevant and of interest to the community, I feel the wiki would be a better fit.
May 30	comment	Did any of the 50 Destroyers swapped for bases with Great Britain in 1940 sink any Axis military vessels? @E1Suave - You make a good point, but SE is about providing information, not sales references. If someone refers to a specific book that might have newer revisions, then that should be included in the answer. This can be done without providing a link to purchase the book. The main point is that SE does not want to be seen promoting one vendor over another.
May 29	comment	Did any of the 50 Destroyers swapped for bases with Great Britain in 1940 sink any Axis military vessels? Just for future reference, if you actually own this book, it would be helpful if you could give a specific example from the book itself. This answer as it stands is not very complete and would benefit greatly from such an example.
May 29	comment	Did any of the 50 Destroyers swapped for bases with Great Britain in 1940 sink any Axis military vessels? I tend to agree that it isn't appropriate to link to a commercial vendor. While I can appreciate the intention to provide easier access to a more complete accounting of the information, I'm pretty confident that anyone could find the actual book themselves.
May 29	comment	What was the end of Indian Army Leader Netaji Subash Chandra Bose? Sorry, but since this question was so easily answered on wikipedia, I am going to close it. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll consider posting other questions in the future.
May 21	comment	Advice for a novice Historian This type of question doesn't really fit our format, but rather than close it, I am going to convert it to a community wikki entry. I think that this is something that may be helpful to others who might visit our site.
May 17	comment	Which Confederate State provided the most troops in the American Civil War? If you are going to give a posting a downvote, at least have the decency to explain why!
May 17	comment	How dangerous duels were? @zefciu - I am going to close this question for now because it is too broad and general. If you would like to reword it and give it a more narrow focus, I'll be happy to conisder reopening it.
May 16	comment	What factors related to the Eastern Crisis contributed to the outbreak of World War 1? @Tom Au, sorry I missed your question, but I don't really know the answer. I don't believe you lose the downvotes, which I agree is unfortunate! :)
May 16	comment	What factors related to the Eastern Crisis contributed to the outbreak of World War 1? I am going through our questions to make sure they are less subjective and fit more appropriately into our guidelines.
May 15	comment	Please provide me an example of a religious violence that was rooted at ethnic conflict I am going to close this question because the way it is worded is more likely to result in opinions and specualtion, which is not acceptable. The two actual questions could perhaps be posed separately as two different questions by asking what documentation exists to support the notion that either conflict happened because of religion or ethnicity. I would strongly suggest creating two new questions along those guidelines.
May 15	comment	Was the secession of the Confederate states illegal? +1 for pointing out that at the time of the Civil War it was NOT illegal.
May 14	comment	Were Civil-War-era Americans better writers than modern Americans? @Jon, I'm not sure if your suggestion would work or not. Just keep in mind that the question has to be answerable with a concrete and direct answer. If you feel the answers are likely to be subjective or driven by opinion, then it wouldn't be a good fit.
May 14	comment	Where is the location shown in this picture on a modern day map? @sharptooth, I agree that your comment should be posted as the answer. That's a very good find!
May 14	comment	Were Civil-War-era Americans better writers than modern Americans? Jon, this is a very well worded question, however, it doesn't really fit our format. We need questions that can be given a clear and concise answer without inviting discussion, speculation, or opinion. Because this question is so subjective in nature, I have no choice but to close it. If you would like to reword it I will be happy to reconsider.
Apr 27	comment	Intersection Between Computer Science and History? This question really doesn't fit the SE criteria, but considering the amount of discussion I am going to move it to the community wiki.
Apr 27	comment	Has there ever been a serious effort to reform the US Electoral College system? I have decided to do a major edit on this answer to limit it to only the information that actually answers the question. While the rest is interesting, it is more about opinion and specualtion than providing a true answer.
