Christopher Pelton

Greetings, and welcome to my author page. My name is Christopher Pelton. I'm 44 years old (yikes) and live in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with my wife Michelle and Mickey and Mallory, our two gray and very strange cats.

I've been writing off and on my entire life, starting with some self-illustrated Transformers stories back when I was six. Being a writer is something I always wanted growing up, but a long, long, long list of life screw-ups and terrible mistakes as well as a late in life discovery that I was bi-polar led to lots of self-inflected missed opportunities. About ten years ago, I got diagnosed, and after a decade of medicinal musical chairs, I have finally found a balance.

I know the pandemic has been rough on people, but I was agoraphobic before this whole mess started, so I wasn't leaving the house anyway. The last year has been a creative explosion for me, with the twenty super short stories in my first book, A Toe in the Water, which is just the beginning of what I plan to be a substantial amount of output this year. I hope you enjoy my work.
