Kerry K. Cox was born in Hollywood, California. After four years at Oregon State University, he declared himself graduated and returned to Southern California, where he taught swimming, karate, and pre-school to finance a sputtering launch to what eventually became a lifelong writing career. Nowadays, when Kerry isn’t writing he volunteers with various wildlife, marine mammal, and feral cat/kitten rescue groups on California’s Central Coast.

​He lives by the ocean in Cambria, California with his wife and too many critters.
