Christopher Rivers

Since he was a teen, the author has wanted to write an enjoyable Saturday and Sunday afternoon novel that one might read on the weekend. To achieve his dream, he took creative writing courses at universities such as the University of Maine in Orono, Maine, and Burlington Community College in Vermont. However, it wouldn’t be for years after college that he would write Inescapable Desires, For the Love of Peace, and Elapsing into Love. This series started because he was concerned about the violence, crime, and the killing of our planet that happens daily. It was everyday life that was the invisible force driving him to write these three novels. After receiving an honorable discharge from the United States Navy, his accomplishments in the military were huge. From being a recipient of a Coast Guard Meritorious Unit Commendation for participating in drug operations in the Caribbean, to two letters of Appreciation from the USS Forrestal (CVN-59). After the Navy, he spent years backpacking the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Long Trail in Vermont, and the International Appalachian Trail that wanders into Canada. The author has even hiked in the mountains of Norway. To date, he has backpacked well over 14,000 miles across the United States. Today, he spends his time writing and walking with his Coonhound (Birch) on the trails around his home. His fourth novel Heaven’s Gate Beyond the Threshold is expected by the end of the summer of 2026.
