Hey there! My name is C.J. "Chuck" Klinger and I write for the love of storytelling. My art and writing studio is located in the pine forest around Bastrop, Texas, thirty miles east of Austin.

I had the good fortune to live throughout the US in my career as a corporate gypsy. It gave me a perspective on America and Americans that has greatly influenced my writing. When I settled down to write, I had a thousand experiences I wanted to share.

My stories are character-driven. In the first 10,000 words, I work hard to create the stage and to get to know the story’s characters in my mind. After that, the characters take over and write the story. Many times when I start to write a dialogue for one of my characters, I'm not sure exactly what that character is going to say. The endings are sometimes as much a surprise to me as they are to the reader. It sounds silly and maybe a little improbable, but its true and makes writing an exciting prospect.

You'll discover I write in a variety of genres, from murder mysteries to a science fiction series. Some of my favorite stories involve taking a true incident from history (recent and old) and creating a story in the present based on that incident.

Check Amazon for my novels as ebooks, paperbacks, hardbound and audiobooks. For more information and to send me an email, visit my website cjklinger.com
