An Oregonian raised in Southern California, Lennox Rex has always been enamored with storytelling. His style has been most shaped by his earliest influences—folklore and anthology shows The Twilight Zone and Are You Afraid of the Dark?—and the work of Jack Kerouac and Patricia Highsmith. His work appears in various magazines and anthologies. I’ll Never Leave You is his first collection. To him, life is best enjoyed with music, body mods, and plenty of coffee and sweets. He’s a neurodivergent trans man living in the southern United States with his husband, their three children, and a western hognose snake named Mephie.
