Author Christopher L. Cooper

I realize I am probably not who you picture when you think of a writer. I do not have an Ivy League background in literature. In fact, I barely scraped through high school. For decades, I let self-doubt convince me that writing was something other people did. I thought it was for people with different credentials or better backgrounds than mine. But the stories in my head did not care about any of that.​

 

I have always been the kind of person who gets lost in a good story. To me, there is nothing better than a plot that pulls you in and does not let go until the final page, scene, or curtain. I love the feeling of being right there alongside the characters. It is a thrill to try and piece together their goals before the clock runs out.

 

My love for storytelling goes deeper than just a fast-paced plot. I am fascinated by the specific elements that make a story breathe. I love the small, quiet moments that reveal a character’s true heart. I enjoy the way tension can build through a shared secret or a slow reveal that happens in the shadows. For me, a great story is a complex puzzle where every single detail matters.​

 

I hope that by finally sitting down to write, I can share my love of storytelling with you.

 

When I am not dreaming up new ideas, I am spending time with my family. I am a husband and a proud father to two children. They are the biggest supporters of my journey to get these stories out of my head and into your hands.​

 

Thank you for being here. I hope my stories give you that same sense of excitement and wonder that my favorite stories have always given me.
