Steve Lambert’s writing has appeared in both print and electronic journals, most recently in The Cortland Review, Red River Review, and MadHat Lit. He is a three-time finalist in contests held by Glimmer Train Stories. He works in a library in St. Johns County and is a graduate student, in writing, at the University of Texas, El Paso.
