Steve Utley began publishing SF in 1972 with "The Unkindest Cut of All" for a Perry Rodan anthology. Born in Smyma, Tennessee, he was a pro writer who was a founding member of the 1970s Austin, TX, writing group that included Lisa Tuttle, Howard Waldrop and Bruce Sterling, and which was later called the Turkey City Writer's Workshop. He occasionally used the pseudonyms of Septimus Dale and Bruce Holt.
"Custer's Last Jump", co-authored by Utley and Howard Waldrop was a Nebula Award finalist. Utley and Howard Waldrop pioneered steampunk in such stories as "Custer's Last Jump" (1976) and "Black as the Pit, from Pole to Pole" (1977).
