Kermit Moyer (born August 3, 1943) is an American author, best known for ''Tumbling'', his collection of short stories. The New York Times Book Review called ''Tumbling'', "a work of ringing authenticity" and greeted him as "an impressive new voice." His second book, a novel-in-stories called ''The Chester Chronicles'', was published in February 2010 and has been called "eloquent" and "stylish" by ''Publishers Weekly''. He taught literature and creative writing at the American University in Washington, DC, for 37 years since 1970. ==Biography== Kermit Moyer was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His ancestry was Scottish and German. His ancestor Nicholas Moyer (d. 1785) is said to have come to the U.S. shortly before the Revolutionary War. His father was an Army officer named Kermit Wonders Moyer (1910–1989), after whom he was named, so that the name on his birth certificate reads: “Kermit Wonders Moyer, II.” His mother’s name was Frieda Laurel Hess (1910–2005). He has a younger sister, Candy Carter born in 1946. Due to his father being in the U.S Army, the family moved around quite a bit both in the U.S.A. and overseas, which included places like Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland (1944–1947); Honolulu, Hawaii (1947–1950); Columbia, South Carolina (1950–1951); Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1951–1955); Okinawa (1955–1956); Dallas, Texas (1956–1959);and Augusta, Georgia (1959–1961). His father retired from the U.S. Army after 20 years of service in 1961 at the rank of Lt. Colonel, and moved to Winter Park, Florida with his wife.
