An American sci-fi and fantasy writer, Stephen Michael Stirling is one of the modern popularizers of AH as a genre, along with Harry Turtledove. Poster-child for all tech wankers. Stirling is the author of the (more or less) 'acclaimed' Draka series, the much-loved Nantucket series, the Emberverse novels (a spinoff of sorts of the Nantucket series) and The Peshawar Lancers.

For some time, he was a member of AH.com, under the handle joatsimeon. He was banned for comments he made relating to genocide against Muslims some years ago, which Ian dug up. His banning is a controversial issue amongst AH.commers.
