DAVID KITZMILLER

WRITER, AUTHOR, POET, SONGWRITER

Welcome to the definitive hub of David Kitzmiller.

As a remarkably prolific Indiana author, poet, and songwriter, Kitzmiller turns raw lived experience into an expansive multi-medium catalog. From hard-hitting literary fiction and uncompromising memoirs to a multi-genre independent music discography, his work explores survival, heartbreak, and the unexpected humor that surfaces in the middle of it all.

Managed entirely through Norman Kitzmiller Publications, this space showcases the full breadth of a creator who simply refuses to stop writing. (We've tried asking him to take a break; he won't.)

Literary Fiction

Nameless Cowfish: The Years Between The Stations

The Debut Novel from David Kitzmiller.

Nameless Cowfish: The Years Between The Stations is a powerful exploration of nostalgia, grit, and enduring small-town roots. Spanning thirty years in rural Indiana, the narrative follows a garage band's unlikely journey while asking the quiet question most adults carry with them: What if we had kept going?

Blending vivid characters with sharp storytelling, it is a brilliant first entry into Kitzmiller’s literary fiction catalog. The personalities are real. Some of the legal team's concerns might be, too.

Memoirs

The "Dealing with the Toaster" Memoir Series.

This bracing biographical series begins where most conventional memoirs are afraid to look: at the absolute bottom.

Born with a Toaster in the Bathroom traces the high-friction realities of childhood wounds through the volatile years of adolescence.
A Step Away from Bathing with a Toaster picks up years later, finding unexpected color and revitalization during a pivotal weekend in Sydney, Australia.

These are not tidy stories of effortless recovery; they are masterfully written chronicles of what it looks like to survive and keep moving forward anyway.

Poetry

Poems from the Toaster (Volume I, II, and III)

A Six-Time Critic's Choice Winner.

The Poems from the Toaster series (Volumes I, II, and III) represents a massive departure from traditional poetry formats. Awarded top honors at the Northeastern Poetry Summit, each of the ninety-plus pieces per volume is treated as an independent visual asset—seamlessly fusing typography with raw photography, striking illustrations, and custom graphic design.

Moving effortlessly from deeply confrontational to genuinely humorous, this is poetry engineered by management's favorite client to arrive fast and stay long.

MUSIC

Independent Discography & Production.

Long before the books, there was the music. Under the branding of his independent label, Ace of Toaster Records, Kitzmiller retains 100% of his lifelong publishing and master rights, keeping his sonic catalog entirely pure and uncompromised.

Utilizing a premium rotation of professional studio musicians, the catalog spans whatever genre the writing demands: raw acoustic singer-songwriter tracks, heavy industrial metal, heartland country, and atmospheric dream-pop helmed by female vocalists. The vast stylistic range is entirely deliberate; it is all about the gravity of the lyric.
