Ron Yates (ronyates)

I recently received my MFA from Queens University of Charlotte, where I worked with many fine writers and teachers. I completed a novel during the course of this program titled BEN STEMPTON’S BOY, set in the rural south of the early 1970’s. My work has appeared in Bartleby Snopes, Clapboard House, The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, Rose & Thorn Journal, and Prime Number Magazine. I live in a remote area of east Alabama on the shores of a large hydroelectric impoundment. I have been teaching high school literature, creative writing, and journalism for many years. When not writing, I enjoy hiking, taking pictures, tinkering around with old cars and motorcycles, and playing on the lake.
