Chris Babcock is a writer, traveler, scholar, and most of all, follower of Jesus. He aspires to write stories that communicate truth, create emotion, and keep the reader turning pages as if their life depended on it. Some of his favorite authors include Brandon Sanderson, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Patrick W. Carr. In his free time you can normally find Chris reading, writing, or looking for an adventure--whether that's rock climbing, being on a first response team, or running up the side of a mountain.
His writing journey began back in 2016 when he started the One Year Adventure Novel program, which guides aspiring writers through the process of crafting a novel over the course of one year. His first novel, a loosely historical pirate story, was just practice--practice that he hasn't shown to anyone! Since then, his craft has improved. He is currently working on a fantasy story called I Am Aynebidding, which you can read about on this website. He also have plans to write a dystopian series in the future, the seeds of which he is currently watering.
Chris is driven by the belief that we don't need more writing, but more good writing. More stories that, to use a classical French adage, both please and instruct. That doesn't mean preaching at the reader, but it DOES mean writing stories that standout in their ability to reflect hope in the midst of darkness.
