Steve Pillinger

Steve Pillinger is a linguist, translator and typesetter who has lived in a number of different cross-cultural settings in Africa, the UK and the USA. He has been a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators for over 36 years. His love of language, history and geography comes through in his novels, together with the longing to see God’s truth revealed with fresh impact through the eyes of a different culture.

He created the richly-imagined world of Dūrion as part of a family role-playing game, while living in Oxfordshire, UK. This has now been turned into an award-winning Christian fantasy series, "The Mindrulers". He and his wife have moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where they continue to support the work of Bible translation. They have two adult children, a son and a daughter.

Steve’s other interests include reading, piano playing and photography.
