CURRENT PRESS RELEASE
Award-Winning Local Author Steven T. Callan to Celebrate Release of New Novel
at August and September Events in Chico and Orland
REDDING, Calif.—August 11, 2025—Chico Barnes & Noble will host award-winning local author Steven T. Callan on Saturday, August 23, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., as he signs copies of his highly anticipated second novel in the popular Game Warden Henry Glance series, The Outlaw from Newville. Callan grew up in Orland and graduated from CSU, Chico.
The Friends of the Orland Free Library will also host the Orland native as he speaks about his new novel in the popular Game Warden Henry Glance series on Thursday, September 4, at 10:00 a.m., at the Carnegie Community Center, 912 3rd Street, adjacent to the Orland Free Library. A book signing will follow.
The Outlaw from Newville was released by Coffeetown Press, an imprint of Epicenter Press, on June 10. Callan earned acclaim with his first novel in the series, The Case of the Missing Game Warden, winner of the “Best First Novel” Award Finalist distinction in the largest international book awards competition for independent publishers, the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The author’s first two books, both nonfiction and published by Coffeetown Press, earned excellent reviews and captured awards. His debut book, Badges, Bears, and Eagles—The True-Life Adventures of a California Fish and Game Warden, was a 2013 “Book of the Year” Award Finalist (Foreword Reviews). His second book, The Game Warden’s Son, was named “Best Outdoor Book of 2016” by the Outdoor Writers Association of California.
Callan says, “My love of nature is what drives my writing. I include a conservation message in everything I write.” The Outlaw from Newville is no exception. It features Northern California Game Warden Henry Glance, introduced to readers in The Case of the Missing Game Warden, Callan’s first book in the Game Warden Henry Glance series, and his beloved Sacramento Valley. Callan’s latest also takes the reader to the wilds of Soviet Russia’s Primorsky Krai back in the 1970s, as Warden Glance discovers clues to Northern California big-game hunter Willie Radcliff’s lifetime of wildlife crimes. The Outlaw from Newville will be available at book stores and online vendors everywhere.
Steve grew up in the small Northern California farm town of Orland, where he spent his high-school years playing baseball, basketball, hunting, and fishing. With an insatiable interest in wildlife, he never missed an opportunity to ride along on patrol with his father, a California Fish and Game warden. Steve went on to graduate from CSU, Chico, and attended graduate school at CSU, Sacramento. Hired by the California Department of Fish and Game in 1974, he began his career as a game warden near the Colorado River, promoted to patrol lieutenant in the Riverside/San Bernardino area, and spent the remainder of his thirty-year enforcement career in Shasta County. Callan earned numerous awards for his work in wildlife protection.
Passionate about the environment, Steve and his wife, Kathy, are avid anglers, kayakers, bird-watchers, and scuba divers. They live in the Redding area.
