About the author

In a Nutshell:

My rock n’ roll dream started when I was about 16-years-young.  After releasing 13 full length albums, under various monikers and aliases, I wanted to expand my creative horizons and solder some of my manic metal musical musings with a fictional book.  Years of scribing out lyrics, like a lawn gnome on a mushroom, made me quite
versed
in the art of word play and how to communicate through writing — yes, my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek. 

For those of you who don’t know me, I can assure you, I won’t allow myself to be taken too seriously.  I love sea lions, rock n’ roll, fall weather and suds with my friends — oh, and a good story!

I attended Towson University and emerged with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism.  Again, writing.  So, to this day, I continue to tell the tale of a conflicted and often tortured spirit, bound by the conventions of a hypnotized society, longing to fly, but often settling for McDonald’s french fries and a hot fudge sundae and content to forget it all.  This story is my wings.  I hope to someday find the courage to leave some of my hang-ups in a very dark place, maybe even a closet [sorry] — never to be opened again. 

For now, this is my Ark. 

Enter, if you dare…

Love,

Brad W. Cox
