Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Haunts is an award-winning novelist and former software developer who transitioned from a 20+ year technology career into writing and publishing, authoring science fiction as Stephen B. Haunts and murder mysteries as S. A. Reeves. He combines engineering rigor—shaped by roles at EA, Citi and as Head of Development—with a decade of experience creating technical training and speaking at conferences, now applied to crafting tightly plotted stories. As Managing Director of STEPHEN HAUNTS LTD and a Pluralsight course author, he blends entrepreneurship, teaching, and storytelling. Based in Amber Valley, England, he leverages a BSc in Computer Science and creative writing training from Faber Academy to fuse speculative ideas with procedural detail. Unusually for a novelist, his background in games and financial systems gives his fiction a practical, systems-driven sense of plausibility.
