Khan is a former arts funder, has played cello in an earnest folk-rock duo, and was a firedancer and internationally known hula hoop teacher and performer for over decade. He has a sordid past as a poet, but now focuses mostly on SFF. His debut novel, The Circus Infinite, was published by Angry Robot Books in 2022. It was longlisted for the BSFA Best Novel category, and was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. His next novel, also from Angry Robot, will be published in 2025.
