About the Author

Despite a rural upbringing, Joe was raised in a very liberal home environment and was exposed at an early age to the classic underground comic book scene of the sixties and seventies, as well as European graphic novels by artists like Moebius, Enki Bilal and Milo Manara. At age 9, he was reading Tolkien and Stephen King. He wrote his first novella at age 10. After a brief stint pencilling underground horror comics in his twenties, Joe settled down, got married, had kids and opened his own business. Fast forward fifteen years, and the Kindle e-reader made its debut. Realizing he could bypass the gatekeepers of traditional publishing, Joe started his novel The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All. Feeling a little insecure of his writing skills, he published it under the pen name Rod Redux. It was a surprising success. It, and the books that followed, Menace of Club Mephistopheles and Mort, sold so well Joe was able to close his business and devote himself full time to writing. Proud to be an indie author, Joe turned down a publishing contract with a traditional publishing house, although he has sold the foreign rights to a mainstream publisher overseas. He has recently abandoned his pen name and is rereleasing his titles under his real name. If you would like to contact Mr. Duncan, you may do so at [email protected].
