The Pretender Creators

We love to entertain – been doing it our whole lives – and for the past 30 years have made it our passion, our career path.

Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle created,co-wrote and produced the Pretender. Nearly 20 years later they have also written 2 Pretender books, Rebirth and Saving Luke.

The Pretender Lives

For us, many of these bio things come off as self-serving smoke blown up the skirts of the artists whose names are atop the page. They usually entail the what we have done – the accomplishments, awards, blah, blah, blah (and yes, we’ve put that in here too, ‘cause we are proud of it and a little smoke up the skirt always feels good), but more importantly for us is the why we do it.

All the info on the real PTB’s can be found on the official the Pretender Lives site.
