Chris L. Meyers
Chris L. Meyers is an author, short story writer and software developer. He spent a decade teaching secondary school and over 15 years writing software before he began writing stories. Most of the credit for his writing goes to his wife who continually encouraged him to write his stories down and publish them.
His first stories were spur-of-the-moment bedtime stories he told his children. Encouraged by the rave reviews and excessive giggling of elementary school kids, he thought he would try his hand at a novella. The story blossomed into a novel, then an entire series.
His first novel, The Bahawre Legend, was published in 2017 on CreateSpace and KDP. It began the Legends of Aeo series. The next two books were published in 2018 and 2019 with more on the way.
Long-term illness in the family plus a day job made it challenging to stay on task and get any writing done. This situation resulted in a small nonfiction book, Distraction-Free Writing, which he published in early 2018.
Being a geek, he conducts conference sessions on WordPress and the geeky side of writing. He also speaks on minimizing distractions and putting yourself in the mindset to write.
Chris lives in the Kansas City area with his wife and kids. Apart from software development and writing, he enjoys general geekery, gardening, food and tinkering with things.
