Career


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 with his wife, fellow author Gwenda Bond. The two met at a writing conference in 2001 and were married in 2004. They are co-authors for the The Supernormal Sleuthing Service book series.[8]
