Your Dear Readers

Knox McCoy
Knox is an author, podcaster, and professional reader of books he probably shouldn’t like, but definitely does. He’s endlessly devoted to boomer nonfiction and is powerless against fiction with a clever premise or a character making terrible choices. He lives on a small farm in Chattanooga, TN, with his wife, three kids, and two dogs who refuse to respect boundaries.
