The primary and driving force behind the Ice Cube Press is Steve Semken. I have authored four books, edited three others, been included in four anthologies, was picked as the the Writer in Residence at the Island Institute in Sitka, Alaska. As well, I sponsor the annual Harvest Lecture series held in Iowa each year and formed the Standing By Words Center. It is safe to say I have self-taught and discovered most things having to do with publishing since 1993. The same could be said of my writing which is perhaps not the most standard ever dun. My debut novel Pick Up Stick City : Restoration Fiction was published by Rivers Bend Press in Minnesota. As well, a second book, The Great Blues, is a creative nonfiction piece on Great Blue Herons in Kansas. This book was published by the Woodley Press, Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas and picked as a Notable Book of Kansas. Currently I am working on a collection of short stories on mushrooms, the supernatural in local places and the value of living memory.
