Welcome back, wanderer.
Today, we set sail on a journey through the realms of imagination with the esteemed Chris A. Jackson. A master of the written word, Chris has regaled us with tales of high seas and daring adventures in his acclaimed Pathfinder Tales novels and captivating readers with his vivid depictions of pirate lore and nautical escapades. But his literary prowess extends far beyond the confines of the ocean, as he has also delved into the realms of apocalyptic fiction, exploring the depths of human resilience in the face of cataclysmic events.
Hailing from the shores of Oregon, Chris's affinity for the sea runs deep, rooted in a childhood spent amidst the rolling waves and salt-laden air. Trained as a marine biologist, he eventually found his true calling as a storyteller, setting sail with his wife Anne aboard a 45-foot sailboat to traverse the azure waters of the Caribbean. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas series has garnered accolades aplenty, earning three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards.
Join us as we delve into the intricacies of setting and genre in long fiction, with a particular focus on the evocative worlds of pirate and sailing settings and the haunting landscapes of apocalyptic narratives.
