About Steve Huff
(The following wasn’t originally written for this blog. I decided to leave it in 3rd person, even though I wrote it. I’m lazy that way.)
Crime historian and author Laura James has called Steve Huff the “best true crime blogger on the English-speaking internet,” and best-selling true crime writer and suspense novelist Gregg Olsen has said that Steve “invented serious true crime blogging.” In recent years no less than Ann Rule has acknowledged Steve’s work in her true crime book, Too Late to Say Goodbye, and true crime authors Paul La Rosa and Michele McPhee have quoted extensively in their own books from commentary and blog posts written by Steve about high-profile cases in the news.
In November, 2006, Rolling Stone placed two of Steve Huff’s original crime blogs (CrimeBlog.US and HuffCrimeBlog.com) on their list of the “5 best true crime sites on the ‘Net.” Steve has been a commentator and consultant for MSNBC, Fox News, Court TV, CBS and Dateline NBC.
In late 2007 Steve was featured in MyCase.com, a half-hour special about “cyber-sleuthing” produced for Court TV by Optomen Television.
As a freelance journalist Steve contributed groundbreaking investigative articles to Court TV’s CrimeLibrary.com. He has since written about politics, crime and pop culture for Radar Magazine (radaronline.com) and been a consultant and commentator for several news organizations, including Fox News, CBS, and MSNBC.
Steve’s active blogs are The True Crime Weblog (www.truecrimeweblog.com) and Random Lunatic News (randomlunaticnews.com). In addition to these sites, Steve edits The Anomaly Report (anomalyreport.com), a blog featuring anonymously-submitted stories of the strange and paranormal. Steve is also a blog consultant for screenwriter, actor, comedian and author Michael Ian Black.
Steve Huff is a classically-trained vocalist and has performed secondary tenor roles with the Atlanta and Knoxville Opera Companies. He and his wife, educator and blogger Dana Huff, live in Roswell, GA.
