Steve Yates
Steve Yates, author of “The Legend of the Albino Farm”, released by Unbridled Books in April 2017, was interviewed by Midwestern Gothic about his inspiration for writing the book. Here is an excerpt from that article.
“The Ozarks was and still is a place where the Midwesterner, in dire straits, can vanish into forbidding hills and shadowy hollows, then emerge resolved with a steeled (if not stolen) identity. I think, sometimes, my writing is that — each novel, novella, or story a plunge into a borderland wilderness hoping to forge something new.”
