Life and career[edit]
Coon first started writing stories on his parents' old typewriter when he was 12 years old. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2004. He has written for the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and many other distinguished publications worldwide.[1] He resides in Sandy, Utah.
In June 2018, Coon published his debut novel, Pandora Reborn. The novel stars Ron Olson, a man from the fictional town of Deer Falls, Colorado, which is a hub for supernatural activity. When Ron accidentally frees a witch from a buried chest, he must defeat her before she destroys him and the town. The novel was inspired from the legend of a lost gold mine in the Uinta Mountains.[2]
In June 2020, he published the novel Under The Fallen Sun, which is about a small town in Texas that must fight against an evil alien invasion. In August 2020, he published the first novel in the Alien People trilogy. The novel stars Calandra Menankar, an alien girl who dreams of being her planet's top astronomer. She and her boyfriend Xttra Oogan are sent to Earth to track a probe that is sent into their solar system. This series and Coon's 2023 novel Hollow Planet are set in the same universe as Under The Fallen Sun.[3]
