The thing I write will be the thing I write.

C. G. (Chris) Bauer wouldnt trade his northeast Philly upbringing of street sports played on blacktop and concrete, fist fights, brick and stone row houses, and twelve years of well-intentioned Catholic school discipline for a Philadelphia minute (think New York but more fickle and less forgiving). Chris has written and lived in multiple states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Pennsylvania (he’s quite the bad penny), plus determined, inspired, confused and euphoric, yet always sober. And contrary to popular belief he harbors no ill will toward the city of Pittsburgh though statements by some of his characters may seem to indicate otherwise. Married with two lovely, incredible adult daughters, Chris now lives in Doylestown, PA with his equally lovely wife Terry and their supermutt Rory. The authors short fiction has been podcasted by Well Told Tales, has appeared in the crime fiction ezine Thuglit, and has been recognized by the National Writers Association, the Writers Room of Bucks County and the Maryland Writers Association.
