Hi, I’m Chris, The Wrong Writer.
Here for some enjoyable reads? You’re in the ‘Wrong’ place.
My writing is most enjoyable…but fair warning, it’s not normal. Why? Well, I’m not normal. I have in my 45 years (to date)…
- Seriously considered founding a religion centered on Krampus
- Conceived an entire universe while in the throes of heatstroke. They never let me back into that sauna.
- Somehow built a career in Silicon Valley while dual-wielding an English degree and computer smarts.
What should you expect from my books then?
- Dollops of sarcasm
- Random hey-wait-a-minute epiphanies
- Curious plots with curiouser characters
- The unnerving terror from approaching ‘The End’
- Sadistic grins from reading richly-deserved comeuppances
- And several hours of genuine, guilt-free, zero-calorie reading enjoyment.
What kind of books I like to write:
Books that are easy to read. Books that take a fresh angle as early as possible. Books that pepper in some humor, even in the midst of horror. Books with characters people love/hate/love to hate. Stories as original as possible. Stories that demonstrate creativity (and exercise my own).
[I’m a very cerebral person. I write technical documentation for fun. Since fiction is one of the most demanding creative exercises out there…perfect!]

Just with a twist…the existence of a small population of sorcerers, mostly scattered throughout the country, a few living in magical cities like Govan and Diluvium. How do these sorcerers pay bills? What do you even need money for,… - How Wrongness Improves the World
The Robert Garrett Story) In 1896, the world decided to bring back the heralded Olympic Games. The first ‘modern’ Olympics took place in Athens, Greece, that year. Many athletes from around the world trained to compete there. One was Robert Garrett, a student at Princeton University. Robert was already a… - Gryla, the Icelandic Christmas Troll
Gryla. If I said that name on an American street corner, nobody would bat an eye. If I said it on the streets of Reykjavik, Iceland? Someone would hastily cross the street and give me a nervous glare. On the island-nation of Iceland, Gryla is as nasty a Christmas entity…
