Chris Smolinski of Seneca Falls, New York is the author of the YA fiction modern fantasy, Davenports Raze. Chris writes while acting as a stay at home father of three children, two of whom have autism. The married author’s family motto is “scattered brainstorms,” which inspire him every day.

After college and a traditional job proved to be unsatisfying, Smolinski dedicated himself to writing and his children. He always loved writing and reading, and this passion was reignited by the ‘Inheritance’ series by Christopher Paolini followed by the ‘Percy Jackson’ series. Chris’ other interests include working out and sports, especially football, which is why he is a ‘fantasy football guru.’

Chris writes for various websites including Nerdcoremovement.com. His writing is inspired by many sources. Smolinski believes that stories are all around us, we just need to listen.
