K.J. Stevens was born June 4th, 1973 in Alpena, Michigan. He is the son of Kim and Rita Stevens. He has two brothers, Kevin and Keith. He is a graduate of Alpena High School, Alpena Community College, and Central Michigan University. Stevens also studied Creative Writing at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

 

Stevens grew up in the rural township of Maple Ridge and spent much of his youth outdoors. Whether hunting or fishing, playing football, or hiking through the woods, Stevens was not far from nature. And it was there, in the countryside of Maple Ridge, that Stevens began to tune his senses to the simple, sometimes brutal, beauty that surrounded him.

 

Stevens began writing at a very young age, keeping a diary, and penning stories and poems for family and friends. Writing was not only his way of making sense of the world, but it was also is way of communicating with it.

 

And Stevens has kept communicating.

 

His writing has appeared in The Adirondack Review, Fluid Magazine, Me Three, Circle Magazine, Cellar Door, Prose Ax, Temenos, and BloodLotus. Stevens has written three short story collections (A Better Place, Infidelity, and Dead Bunnies), and a collection of nonfiction shorts (Landscaping). His first novel, Pilgrim’s Bay, was published in autumn 2007.
