Steve Ruthenbeck

Steve Ruthenbeck was born June 18, 1974. He grew up in rural Minnesota near a town that doesn’t even have a gas station. Steve’s ancestors came from Germany and Denmark. Some brewed moonshine. Steve’s grandma even claimed to be a distant relative of Hans Christian Anderson. No moonshine was involved with the claim. Beer maybe…

Steve attended the Worthington Community College and then South Dakota State University, where he wrote a column for the campus newspaper. He pursued a bachelor’s degree in journalism, thanks to the advice of a high school standardized test.

After graduating, he went to work at a real newspaper, but eventually moved back to his family’s farm, where his mother finally convinced him to start working on the award-winning newsletter of a local electric cooperative.

On why he writes, Steve says, “I certainly didn't jump for joy about sitting down at the word processor night after night after night. I guess it’s just something hardwired into my brain. I think most people think about writing a book at some point in their life. I think a lot of people actually start writing said book. Few finish. What’s the difference between the ones who keep going and the ones who quit? I don’t know. Maybe the ones who keep going just have something to say, that they must say, and writing is the only way to say it. I suppose that is what attracted me to writing then. It offered a way for me to say something that I had to say . . . maybe.”

Steve’s writing credits include the short stories “Glitch’s Testimony,” which was published in Nova Science Fiction Magazine, and “Werewolf Among” in D.E. Davidson’s Crimson, written under the pseudonym Max Reaper.

Steve currently resides in Okanbena, Minnesota.
