​Lux Knox barely got started in graduate school for literature before he decided it wasn't for him. He floundered around, but eventually landed on his feet with a Master's and a respectable day job in an entirely unrelated field. He also feels entitled an honorary PhD in Navel Staring from the University of Hard Knox, and he prefers dreams to the spreadsheets of metrics of his daily grind.

​ Outside of writing and supporting his family, he has diverse interests including playing guitar, pop psychology, philosophy, health sciences, and scuba diving. Despite this insane little book and the strange places his mind sometimes journeys, he is a surprisingly normal-ish, low-key family man.
