Blake Louis Steinberg, born 1953, passed away on Thursday, November 29, 2007. Most recently a resident of Austin, Mr. Steinberg was a versatile and multi-talented man who recently completed his first novel, Jihad: The Siege of Vienna. Fascinated by geo-politics and economics, he was also a humorist, and his wit and quick sense of humor permeated his writing and his conversation.

He is survived by his parents, Malcolm and Elizabeth Steinberg, his siblings Malcolm, Carolyn and Jonathan, his cousin Cynthia Cannon, and many other close members of the family.
