Christopher Ray

Christopher Ray has worked construction since the day he graduated high school, chasing jobs across the country, a working life that's put him in more corners of America than most people ever see. Growing up in rural Alabama, days spent outdoors meant days spent in his own head, and the habit of imagining never left him. He's been collecting songs and story ideas since he was a boy, filling in the empty spaces the road and the woods left for him.

He grew up on Louis L'Amour, and that early diet of westerns still shows; his own fiction lives at the crossroads of western, Southern noir, and stories of faith tested hard, where the land and the people are cut from the same cloth.
