Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Chris is a graduate of Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. He lives in Arlington, Texas with his wife and son.

There are books and then there are BOOKS. Tales so captivating, written so well, drawing you in so that you don’t want to put them down. And if you find one of those books as you make your way through the monthly pile of books, then it is a very good month.

The Heavenly Table by Donald Ray Pollock is such a book. Sent in 1917, the book follows three brothers as they move from farm laborers to want

Quotes by Chris Dikes (?)

“I might have learned one thing. When people are hurting and in pain, when they are in the depths of the valley, instead of answers and solutions, maybe they need someone who will sit next to them quietly. Perhaps they need someone who will look them in the eye and listen to them in their noise and their silence.”
― Chris Dikes, The Accident: A Bike, A Truck, and A Train
