Author Bio
Chrissy Hartmann writes stories with teeth. Whether it's sweet-talking cowboys in her Whiskey Salvation Series or morally-questionable characters in her short stories, she believes fiction should come with a little romance — and maybe a body or two.
She grew up splitting time between sailing Lake Erie and dodging manure on her grandpa’s horse farm, so naturally, her stories lean toward the unpredictable. Unless of course you're reading one of her two cookbooks. These days, she juggles an Eagle Scout, a pack of opinionated fluffballs, and edits for Prickle Forrest Books while managing her semi-regular blog of literary chaos at Prickle Forrest Chronicles.
When she’s not arguing with the muses, whipping up a new recipe, or daydreaming about cowboys with grit, you can find her crate-digging vinyl with her husband, baking biscuits for her furry friends, or haunting libraries and indie bookstores where she talks way too much and buys even more.
