Chris Bostic was born in the suburbs of Chicago. Though not completely set against the urban lifestyle, the lure of the country was much stronger. After college in central and southern Illinois, he ended up in the suburbs of St. Louis, where he gets away to rural Missouri as often as he can and staunchly refuses to become a fan of the Rams.

Chris pens young adult adventure novels, using his experiences to write ultra-realistic, gripping action/adventure, wilderness survival books that appeal to young and old alike.

A father of three and husband to one, Chris shares his outdoors passion with his loving wife, three children, and a Boy Scout troop. Chris' teenage son is an Eagle Scout. His red-headed middle child has a passion for reading (and is a budding young author). His youngest child is a very smart preschooler who's growing up too fast while keeping him young at heart.

Somehow, between a full time job and a busy family, Chris finds time to write.
