Steve Saroff traditionaly published many short stories in Redbook and other national magazines. His novel Paper Targets spent 3+ months on Amazon Top 100 lists. In addition to writing, he is known for founding tech companies, including FreeMail, the world's first commercially successful web-based email system, which was acquired just before the WorldCom and Enron multi-billion-dollar fraud (still the world's largest combined criminal fraud). Paper Targets shows a wild fringe from that corrupt time. Steve Saroff also helped launch Submittable, the submission system used by publishers. He hosts the podcast Montana Voice and encourages his readers and listeners to follow him on social media. ...more

Quotes by Steve S. Saroff  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Clean clothes. Gentle talk. Someone to wake up with. Maybe relationships would work if they were based on present-tense actions that never looked for a future beyond the next day.”
Steve S. Saroff, Paper Targets: Art Can Be Murder

“But someone who has been busted broke, if they can take care of themselves from that point, they act different. They build their own fires.”
Steve S. Saroff, Paper Targets: Art Can Be Murder

“My sadness, and especially my joy, one moment was solid, but then the next it was empty space.”
Steve S. Saroff, Paper Targets: Art Can Be Murder

Steve S. Saroff, Paper Targets: Art Can Be Murder

“I find her most in solitary places: along the Blackfoot river in Autumn, a place she never saw, where red river rocks sparkle in the low water and dark trout pretend to be shadows.”
Steve S. Saroff, The Long Line of Elk

“Out this small window there is a halo of light, the Glory rainbow that scientists tell us is caused by ice crystals, but which my heart tells me is her bright memory.”
