When searching for an artist that could capture the world of Elvana for The Snowtear Wars series, Scot R. Stone discovered the world of Steve A. Roberts. "His work is beautiful and intelligent, a tribute to the realm of superior fantasy art," Stone says when describing Steve's work. "Steve has surpassed my expectations each time he has completed a cover for one of my novels." Fans have not only come to enjoy the story of the series Stone writes, but also the package it comes in. "My goal is to give the reader something they don't want to give up. There are few books that I have that I truly cherish. A lot can be said about authors and publishers if they put out a quality product-- inside and out. There are many stories that die in the marketplace, simply because they do not have the proper representation for the story on the cover."
These are some of publishers that Steve has worked with.
Palladium Books "Rifts"RPG series, Ceaco Inc. beautiful fantasy puzzles, Hayhouses and American Greetings wonderful greeting cards, and J.M. Courcy's fantasy adventure "Scourges,Seeds of Dissent",published by Dearborn Publishing. Be sure to check out Scot R. Stones new Fantasy novel, "The Ice Shadows Of ARNA" the second in the Snowtear Wars series that Steve has illustrated, and many more.

He was born in central Florida, in a little town called Palmetto, a stones throw from the Gulf of Mexico. He began drawing like most artist as a young child. Later he spent twelve years in Alaska, a place that had all ways stirred in his imagination. In that time Steve drove cab in Anchorage,worked construction, built a log cabin on forty acres and painted the wonders of this Fairytale land. His work was starting to receive more and more attention. Returning to Florida Steve started his company"Fantasy Graphics".

A quote from Steve A Roberts
"Having the imagination, and keeping an open mind to the wonder of it's power is very important to the creation of fantasy art. Determination and practice brings these visions of the spirit to life. Put it down on paper, and keep doing it over and over. Something beautiful will come out of it. The more you use the power of your imagination and let it run free, the colors and shapes that make up this glimpse of other worlds seem to create themselves, leaving you with a feeling, that you must have had help with this."
