Author, Advisor, Speaker, Spy.

After spending almost two decades in the secret world, launching a new career as an author, media commentator and film consultant is exciting and very different.  I used to hide behind a cloak and dagger.  Now, I find a website better suits my needs.

I am often asked if I miss being a spy.  Yes, it was tough at first getting used to the phone not ringing, unexpected orders to fly somewhere to meet an agent, track down a terrorist or surge to fill a war time requirement.  The flip side is I now have time to explore my creative side without risking national security.


For Publishers:  I am currently focused on writing middle grade fiction for children with my co-writer Kathryn Dennis.  Please visit my children's book website, http://www.anatoliasteppe.com/ or www.facebook.com/anatoliasteppe. 

For Film and TV:  I provide content and technical advice on espionage for scripts.  See my film page for projects I have already done.  Please contact me directly for discussion of services and fee structure.

Media Commentary:  I do a limited amount of media commentary these days. Please contact me directly with your requests, but do not be surprised if the answer is no.  I have only so much time in every day.

Public Speaking:  While I love speaking engagements (nothing like a captive audience!), time restrictions require that I am selective.  Speaking topics:  Intelligence Challenges in the 21st Century; the Al-Qa'ida Insurgency; and Women in Intelligence. Contact me directly for information on my speaking fee.
