Robert Knox

I am a novelist, short story writer, poet and freelance journalist. My newly published novel Karpa Talesman is the winner of the Prophecy Creek Award for Speculative Fiction. Here's the short take on the storyline. Planet Earth appears to be running out of time. Children go to school in the morning, but in the blink of an eye the day is over, and they are lining up to take the bus home. Scientist Sheena Drey discovers that her husband, Copper, has volunteered for the Dream Project and is lying in an induced coma-like state.

Where Copper's dreams take him, the planet where he no longer knows himself, and how he finds his way back to the world he left behind is my novel's through-story. Copper's journey, experienced by the dream-self Karpa Talesman, becomes an exploration of alien civilizations that provide the clues that will ultimately enable Earth to save itself.

Aside from writing, I am a husband, a father, a gardener, and a reader of great books.
