Married to law professor Hollee Temple; father of two boys, 7 and 4. We live in Morgantown, where I'm an associate professor of journalism and associate dean of WVU's j-school. My new book, The Last Lawyer, will be published in November. It's the true story of a team of lawyers in North Carolina who defend death-row inmates. My first book, Deadhouse: Life in a Coroner's Office, was published in 2005. Check out my website for more information: http://johntemplebooks.com/. Last year, I founded a project called West Virginia Uncovered: Multimedia Journalism from the Mountains. J-school students and faculty are creating multimedia packages for weekly newspapers around the state and also doing multimedia training. See the website: http://wvuncovered.wvu.edu/
