Serendipity struck one day on the radio show. The crew was discussing Fox’s slow nature while also noting that when he wanted to, Fox could spring into action: much like a ninja sloth. This was the kernel of an idea Fox needed for his first book. He would write about an average, ordinary sloth who turned into a superhero! Through a lot of hard work, Fox’s first children’s book came out in 2018. It was called The Secret Life of Sloan the Sloth. He followed that the next year with a story near and dear to his heart...a love story to his Missouri Tigers and their lovable mascot, Truman. How Truman Found His Roar came out in 2019. 

Fox now considers writing children’s books more than a passing fancy and has ideas for many more picture books, including more in the Sloan the Sloth series. He and Kelly live in Columbia, MO with Eli, his younger brother Hudson and their basset hound Charlie. They are his continuing inspiration.
