Career

[edit | edit source]

Rowe's first professionally published short story was "Kin to Crows" (Realms of Fantasy, 1998).[4] His best-known story is "The Voluntary State" (Sci Fiction, 2004),[1] which was nominated for multiple major awards.[3] That story was followed by two sequels: "The Border State" (2017) and These Prisoning Hills (2022).[5]

His 2017 short-story collection Telling the Map received positive reviews from Publishers Weekly ("wild creativity, haunting imagery, and lyricism"), Kirkus Reviews (a "clutch of complex, persuasive visions of an alternate South"),[6] and Tor.com ("a stellar set of stories that mesh well together").[7]

Personal life

He lives in Lexington, Kentucky. He was married to fellow author Gwenda Bond, with whom he co-authored The Supernormal Sleuthing Service book series,[8] from 2004 to 2023.[9]
