Maddox Steak House feels like the entrance to another era; it’s a dark, woodsy cabin-like structure filled with friendly faces, fake plants, and the smell of meat. I order, of course, the fantastic Shrimp Steak. Have you ever heard of  Shrimp Steak?  Probably not. You see Maddox is a one-of-a-kind place and so is the [...]

So, I interviewed Kathy Soper the other day. For those not in the know, she is the editor of Segullah. She’s got seven kids (yep, she’s an angel), and she has managed to keep us all on task at Segullah (She’s an organized angel)! Here was our conversation.

Hey Kathy. Why don’t you introduce yourself.

Howdy, all. I’m Kathy, soon to be thirty-five years old. Happy to be LDS, happy to be married to Reed Soper, happy even to be living in Utah. But I do miss the trees–though not the humidity–of Maryland, my childhood homeland. And I admit I like Salt Lake valley better than her much-maligned sister. I had a rocky start with Provo culture when I arrived in ‘89, but I ended up marrying my home teacher, so it all ended well. I have a BA in English, and I’m interested in pursuing an MFA in creative non-fiction someday, when I’m no longer inundated with sippy cups and diapers. I have seven kids; the oldest just turned 13 and the youngest is almost a year old.
