Chris Bliersbach

Chris Bliersbach grew up in Minnesota and now lives in Nevada, where he’s still learning how winter is supposed to work. After 38 years in healthcare, he finally gave in to the urge to write thrillers—apparently swapping one high-stress profession for another. Since 2019, he’s published 23 books across four fast-paced, occasionally disturbing series.

His Table for Four medical thrillers explore a miracle cure for Alzheimer’s with deeply unfortunate side effects, inspired in part by his parents’ battle with the disease. A portion of the proceeds is donated to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America—because some stories should help in real life, too.

The Aja Minor series follows a troubled teen with psychic abilities who catches the attention of the FBI and uses her “curse” to hunt sexual predators. It’s equal parts crime thriller, emotional wrecking ball, and justice served. Proceeds support the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Chris also writes occult horror in Slaughter, Minnesota, where Old Lady Ketchel terrorizes the town (and absolutely hates children), and serial-killer suspense in The Metronome Man, featuring a murderer who keeps better time than most drummers.

He’s also written a romance novel and two poetry collections—because even thriller writers have feelings. When he’s not writing, he’s walking his dogs and wondering why his characters never listen to him.
