edit data

Born and raised in Maine, Christopher H. Jansmann spent nearly three decades as a professional IT nerd before recalling a childhood ambition to become an author. He quickly set about correcting that oversight and published his first novel, Blindsided, in 2020, launching what would become his signature style of blending memorable characters with vibrant locations. Chris is the author of the Coastal Maine-set Sean Colbeth Investigates series and the interconnected Southern California-based Vasily Korsokovach Investigates novels.

Despite his love for the Northeast, Chris escaped the cold for sunny Arizona where he currently resides with his beautiful wife and a Shar-Pei mix that insists on being walked regularly.

First, an update: by the time you read this, Chosen Family will be complete and I’ll be deep into the process of smoothing it out for publication. As of this writing, the timeline remains on track for it to appear a week or so prior to the release of Aftermath as a special bonus for subscribers; everyone else will have to wait until November 24th in order to purchase it. It’s a great time to sign
