Author
Raised in a pit village in Derbyshire, Steve Lunn now lives in Oxford, where his debut novel, The Price of Dormice, is set.
He worked on hill farms in the White Peak and Baden-Württemberg; in software design at BAe, Morganite, Telecomputing and Softlink; and in education at the Open University and primary schools in Chadlington and around Oxfordshire. He co-founded Southern England’s first community-owned wind farm (Westmill), campaigns on environmental issues, and actively engages in conservation and re-wilding, particularly with BBOWT and the Friends of Burgess Field.
Soon after his debut novel The Price of Dormice was published, his first collection of short fiction came out - We're Not Getting Divorced and other stories. Both are available in all good bookshops (as they say).
Steve shares his life with artist Imogen Rigden, their extended family, and a young dog.
