Kevin Waltman was born in Bedford, Pennsylvania, and spent his teens and twenties in Indiana--time spent mostly around basketball courts and political events. He moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2001 to get his MFA in fiction at The University of Alabama. There, he met his wife, Jessica Kidd. He now lives in Coker, Alabama, with Jessica, their daughter Calla, and their dog Henry. He teaches. He writes. He gardens. He cuts kudzu from their woods.

He is the author of four y.a. novels. The first two are Nowhere Fast and Learning the Game. The two most recent--Next and Slump--are the first two parts of a four-part series from Cinco Puntos Press. The third in the series, Pull, will be out in late 2015.

If you're not sure what to write next, jump ahead to something you are sure of. Or write a bad sentence. Write two, three bad sentences until you get to a better place. The bad sentences can be revised, but by writing them you've got something to work with, rather than nothing.(less)

But read just as much. You can learn so much--what you like and, maybe just as importantly, what you don't--by reading other writers. Sometimes that leads to imitation, but slowly you transform the things you love in other writers into something that is genuinely yours.(less)

“It's strange how just the sound of my dad's feet, the murmur of his voice, can change everything. Thing is, for all I know he could be in a good mood. It's just that I've learned to assume the worst.”
Kevin Waltman, Nowhere Fast
