Walter Q. Foxx

Walter Q. Foxx was born in 1951 in Winnipeg, Canada of dubious ancestry. He was sent to India by his university philosophy professor to explore the role of marijuana in the Hindu religion. This led him into an esoteric world of ascetics and yogis. Upon returning to the West, he encountered an Amsterdam art gallery and wrote reviews and feature stories for Ins & Outs magazine, Gummi, Revival and Stik. He then moved to San Francisco, where he published Ganesh Baba, San Francisco Terror, Letters to Jodi and other paranoid works and wrote pornography for The Spectator. His sudden disappearance from the Bay Area literary scene fueled rumors that he'd died fighting beside Che in the jungles of Bolivia. 

That wasn't the case, however. Instead the goddess Saraswati intervened. And after saving Walter from the hands of fate, resurrected him in India, where he returned to his old ways of conniving with hitherto little known secret and sacred elements. In the process he produced seven CDs of vanishing Indian folk music as well as a spoken-word interview with an American Aghori who eats charred remains from the cremation grounds. He also completed three novels, Mother Kali's Daughters, Indian Cinderella, and Goddess of Destruction, and is currently working on a fourth entitled King Solomon's Child. Walter lives with a Bengali wife half his age in a house on the beach in Goa. He is pure vegetarian and mostly heterosexual.
