Christopher David Petersen
Biography
Christopher David Petersen (1963 - 20?? I just checked... I'm not dead yet). Born and raised in Connecticut. As a child, I was always daring and reckless. Never one to let common sense stand in the way of a great adventure, my bold feats of stupidity were legendary... Huckleberry Finn would have been proud.
"Surprisingly", that same spirit carried over into adulthood, as I sought out entertainment that included: scuba diving; ski Mountaineering; mountain biking; Rock, Ice and Mountain climbing; flying planes; golf, motorcycles, the stock market and of course, experimentation with various alcoholic refreshments.
Later in life, writing became an extension of my deep desire to experience "new and exciting worlds". I have written several books, but none have been published through any formal channels... I've heard the process is long, painful and laborious, the thought of which sickens me. My foray into e-publishing came after a friend suggested my works could fetch dollars instead of dust inside my sock drawer... a righteous observation. My recent publications are the result of this advice. Further adventure/suspense novels are soon to be released.
An engineer by trade, I have worked all over the U.S. and usually write in my spare time... that is when I'm not enjoying a bottle of Scotch and a quality cigar. I am a naturally long-winded individual, so writing is what happens when I can't get anyone to listen to me anymore...
I love all kinds of genres but gravitate more towards suspense. There is nothing like the build up to a great climax... What a rush!

- Storm Rising - A Kelli Storm Novel
on Aug. 21, 2011
I rarely read crime novels, but this one drew me in. It was fast paced and lots of action... a real page turner. I think I may now be a genre convert - lol.
I loved the main character's tough, no nonesense personality and her perseverance to overcome every obstacle (which there are many!). The story moved along very well and was obviously well researched by the author. As I said earlier, I don't normaly read crime novels, but I'm sure this one ranks up there with the best. It was THAT good!
I highly recommend it to others.
