Rebein is a novelist and essayist with a special interest in the contemporary west. His debut novel, The Last Rancher is a family saga set in the ranch country around Dodge City, Kansas. His previous books including Headlights on the Prairie (2017) and Dragging Wyatt Earp (2013) have also been set in western Kansas, where he grew up and where his family has farmed and ranched since the late 1920s.
Rebein's essays have appeared in Cutbank, The Georgia Review, Ecotone, The Cream City Review, Redivider, and other journals and magazines. His first book, Hicks, Tribes, and Dirty Realists: American Fiction after Postmodernism, a study of the role of place in contemporary American fiction, was reissued in paperback in 2009. He teaches creative writing at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI). Rebein loves visiting campuses and book clubs to lead discussions, offer classes in craft, and read from his work.
