Having read the Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, and all fantasy books by David Eddings, Chris took a stab at Fantasy with minimal success. He even attempted Science Fiction with a couple of buddies while in college. The bottom line was, he lacked discipline and the desire to stick with any one project.
All that would change in 2005, because in November of that year, Chris entered his first writing challenge held by the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) website.
Although the goal was 50, 000 words, he obtained his personal goal of 25K, which went on to be the foundation of book 1 of The Askinar Towers Trilogy (published in 2014). He later wrote foundations for books 2 and 3 in '07 and '09 respecitvely. His inspiration for the towers books came from John DeChancie's Castle Perilous series and Doctor Who's Paradise Towers. Chris currently lives in Mesa, AZ.
He's worked in the retail industry since 1996. He's also a father, grandfather, and general nuisance to friends and family.
