Author and lecturer: You could call him the accidental author. While recovering from a bicycle versus SUV accident, he wrote his first novel, The Hive. The Hive invaded American and United Kingdom bookstores in February of 2009. Then he wrote Red Moon and it received high praise from both former and current NASA officials. His third novel, Star Pirates, is due to be released in mid-2011. Chris loves science fiction and grew up on a diet of science fiction from authors such as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and John Campbell. Later, he added others, such as Alan Dean Foster, Ben Bova, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Eric Flint, Harry Turtledove and James P. Hogan to his list of favorites. Science fiction was not his only passion; so was science fact. As a boy, he lived near a serious amateur astronomer. Chris learned about the stars and planets, as well as how to photograph astronomical events. He is also a spaceflight enthusiast. He has expertise in both the U.S. and Russian space programs. Chris lives in St. Augustine, Florida, with his wife, Lareesa (who is from Ukraine), and their two girls, Marina and Sabrina. Visit Chris’ website: www.freewebs.com/chrisbfla
