'''S. M. Stirling''' (September 30, 1953 - ) is a Canadian-American author of [[Alternate History]] and [[Military Science Fiction]].

Themes in his work include the effect of culture on individual morality, the effect of technology on culture, and ... well, let's just say there's a reason one of his [[Fan Nickname]]s is "S&M Stirling".

Was once a member of the [[AlternateHistory.com]] forum.
