Chris Bauer

“The thing I write will be the thing I write.” Chris is a former corporate worker bee (Ford Motor, Exxon, Emery Air Freight, MetLife) who now authors thrillers and mysteries rooted in crime, politics, espionage, and horror. He’s a subject matter expert in none of the following, although his fictional protagonists and major characters are: firearms, aviation, NASA, geology, any law enforcement agency, fugitive recovery, the Navy SEALs, crime scene cleaning, or the US Supreme Court. Nor was he ever a church custodian, billionaire, Hawaiian mobster, a Philly mummer, or US senator, and he does not have six fingers on either hand. Chris wouldn’t trade his Northeast Philly upbringing of street sports played on blacktop and concrete, fistfights, brick and stone row houses, and twelve years of well-intentioned Catholic school discipline for a Philadelphia minute (think NY minute but more direct and less forgiving). He’s an award-winning member of International Thriller Writers. He likes the pie more than the turkey.
