About the Author

Author Info

Born and raised in Seattle, Christopher has lived up and down the west coast and now resides in the North Texas Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. He spent a long career as an executive with a national non profit, organizing community youth groups, training and guiding staff and volunteers, offering motivational presentations, and writing: everything from newsletters and ad copy to speeches and guidebooks. Upon retirement, he took up fiction. The Venus Disc is his debut novel.

When Chris isn't at his desk writing or outlining for his own enjoyment or that of his readers, you might find him in his workshop, garden, or greenhouse. He could be focused on a landscaping project, growing his chili peppers, or producing his to-die-for smoked pepper seasoning. Then again, he may be at church where he volunteers in the music ministry. Of course, it's quite possible he's enjoying a glass of fine wine with Ana, the love of his life, or sacked out on the sofa getting lost in a good book. Boredom in unacceptable.

June 2, 2021:

Amazon just posted The Venus Disc. Hit either of the links on this page, if you would like a copy.

Christopher has begun outlining and writing for A New Witz Balam, the second book in the Venus Disc saga. It takes up the story, carrying it forward as the Four of the Quest, Hector and Linda with Chaac and Asterio Pacheco, work alongside the Apperton family and the archaeologists at the excavation to renew Witz Balam. They intend it to become a place of healing and an example of ancient Maya life. As you would expect, Smoke Jaguar's spirit and the ancestors of Xibalba make life interesting, as do those who would prefer to see Carter Boyle or Thomas Brighten breathe his last. 

Be patient, though. The necessary research and creation will take the old guy some time. Stay tuned.
