Joseph Marx was born in Juneau, Alaska, in 1962. After years of operating heavy equipment, a serious automobile accident afforded Joseph the opportunity to return to school where he received a degree from Western Culinary in Portland, Oregon, and did an overseas internship in Germany. Ultimately, he returned to school and currently lives in Logan, Utah, where he writes and attends school. Peril Cove, Spook Rocks is the author’s first published novel, and he hopes people get as much enjoyment reading his work as he does writing it. Joseph also has a scout/manager certificate in his other passion: ice hockey.
