UW-River Falls English Professor Steven Luebke Publishes First Novel Steps of the Sun

November 7, 2014--In "Steps of the Sun," UW-River Falls English Professor Steven Luebke tells the fictional story of social proponents in a large Midwestern university community in the early 1980's. The setting and time period are no surprise as Luebke began working on what has become his first published novel when he was a graduate student at UW-Madison more than three decades ago.   

Published by Tri-Screen Connection, "Steps of the Sun" follows "regular people; ill-equipped for heroics and constrained by modest realms" who find a common cause in the creation of a recreational center for youth.  

A frequently published writer of short stories and poetry, Luebke's "Steps of the Sun" is something of a departure from his previous work. 

"The chronology is all mixed up and the story is told from four points of view," Luebke said. "My short stories have, for the most part, been straight forward narratives." 

Luebke began working on "Steps of the Sun" following the death of John Lennon in 1980 and has been working on the novel periodically ever since.

"Steps of the Sun" is available for purchase through the website Web-e-Books. More information on the book, including excerpts, can be found at http://www.web-e-books.com/index.php#load?type=author&product=49.
