Meet Christopher
Bestselling Author
BIOGRAPHY
Christopher Buehlman was born in Florida in 1969 and grew up in the suburbs of the Tampa Bay area. A poor fit for these surroundings, he anesthetized himself with horror and fantasy fiction, arcades, role playing games, and the temptations of late night cable TV until he could affect an escape onto a university campus as a French language major and then onto the renaissance festival circuit as Christophe the Insultor, Verbal Mercenary.
He spent his twenties writing poetry and insults, his thirties writing plays, and now seems to be a novelist. Pastimes include Muay Thai, weight training, primitive archery, foreign travel, romance languages, horror movies, cooking, and chess. He lives with a very understanding and talented wife, and a ragtag assortment of wee rescue beasties. He neither sides with aggressors nor complies with oppressors.
