Steve Kemple is a writer and librarian-turned-teacher. His story about a psychic cow won a prize from Uncharted Magazine. His work also appears in 365tomorrows, an anthology from MiddleWest Press, and elsewhere. He co-edits The Sam Hill! Review lit mag. Currently he is writing a collection of stories about hucksters and conmen, a novel about a family of spiritualist grifters, and poems that aren't about Elvis. Rumors that he lives in New Jersey have been greatly exaggerated.
