He received a B.A. from Geneseo College in upstate New York. Immediately following college, he played guitar in several New York-based rock bands, but then jumped into doing comics full-force. His illustration work has appeared in comic books for a number of companies, including Triumphant Comics, and Marvel Comics, and in magazines such as Blue, the Advocate, Genre, and many others. He is also the writer\/artist for such comic strips as \"Manic Music\", (based on his experience in the rock music world), and \"An Angel's Story\". Fox's most notable comic strip, \"Kyle's Bed \u0026amp; Breakfast\", premiered in late 1998. The strip is currently syndicated to a variety of publications across North America, and also has a worldwide following on the web. Fox published the first book collection of Kyle's B\u0026amp;B in September, 2004. The book was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist for \"Best Humor Book\" of the year in 2005. He was the grand-prize winner of the \"Life Without Fair Courts\" cartoon contest in 2007, sponsored by Lambda Legal. A second collection of Kyle's B\u0026amp;B, \"Kyle's Bed \u0026amp; Breakfast: A Second Bowl of Serial\" was published in April, 2012.

Closeted minor-league baseball player Brad, corporate shark Lance, gossip-loving fashionista Richard, troubled high-school senior Eduardo, and Kyle, the 30-something inn-keeper with a heart of gold who keeps all of these hot-shots in line. Romance... drama... topical issues... laugh-out-loud humor... sexiness...hot apple pie and some hot guys raiding the fridge in their briefs... this comic strip covers all the bases  And underlying it all is a warm message of hope.

When this book was originally published in 2004, it went on to become a Lambda Literary Award Finalist for \"Best Humor Book\" of the year.

In the early 1900s, Everett, Washington, is the focus of the timber industry in the Northwest. Such is the demand for labor that it becomes widely known as a location where an unskilled worker can easily find a job. Wave after wave of newcomers arrive in hopes of securing a wage. As a consequence, the area's demographics alter radically and rapidly, transforming Everett into a hard-drinking, volatile town. The author captures this unrest from a variety of perspectives: characters range from the wealthy, conniving mill owner, Luther MacCullock, to the underpaid laborers toiling in the forest. The novel opens with the workers striking and observes the extremes to which MacCullock will go to control his employees. The sense of agitation slowly builds, heightened further by the arrival of the Wobblies, or Industrial Workers of the World, a radical labor union. The engaging novel boasts an ambitiously broad character list, which means that no individual is fully developed. This minor criticism is offset by the author's enviable descriptive skills that bring Everett to life to the extent that a reader can smell the sweat and sawdust: \"With every ax swing they bit deep into the yellow-white wood. Large chips of fir fell to the forest floor as the cool morning air filled their lungs. After four hours the undercut was done, and a breeze picked up. The crowns of the trees rustled and swayed.\" Thoroughly researched with a deep understanding of the Pacific Northwest and its people, this novel should be a must for anyone interested in the great American boomtowns. A tale about the timber industry as rich and textured as the landscape it surveys.\" - \u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDilgard, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - David Dilgard has worked for thirty-five years as a specialist in regional history at the Everett Public Library.

There his personal battles with disillusionment and doubt culminate in a cry for freedom. The rest is the stuff of history and legend: Luther's revolt against Rome with the nailing of ninety-five theses to the church door in Wittenberg; his time spent incognito at Wartburg Castle, where he famously throws an inkpot at the devil; his seditious translation and publication of the Bible in the language of the people; his scandalous marriage to former nun Katharina von Bora; and, in later years, his ugly tirades against peasants, Anabaptists, and Jews. \u003cb\u003eEach chapter of Luther's life\u003c\/b\u003e comes vividly to life thanks to cutting-edge graphic techniques, meticulous historical research, and compelling writing.

She'll need courage to play the role of a femme fatale, but Stephanie believes she has what it takes to be just like her dad. When she sees what a short shelf-life his mistresses have, however, she wonders how she will ever find fulfillment in life. Everything changes when Stephanie's dad gives her a champion canary.
