Young Author From The Bronx Looks To Write His Way Out Of Poverty With Breathtaking Story.

April 11, 2011 - PRLog -- One look at Christopher Hunter, and people are not likely to think of this young man as a writer of speculative fiction. More likely, they would think of him as a writer of urban fiction. But after one reading of his released title, the message will be resounding: this new author is cut from a different literary cloth. His work is very unique.

His first title, "The Days and Months We Were First Born- The Unraveling" is book one of a science fiction trilogy. The story is set in the year 2068 in New York City.  A man-made virus has caught the human race by surprise.  And through the first person account of NYU graduate, Martin Jacob, Christopher Hunter portrays a very vivid and far-reaching world. His story is filled with scenes of devastation, moments of personal lost, and unforgettable characters. Underneath the page-turning plot lies a cautionary tale that's very relevant to events going on in the United States of America today.

His first e-book is available at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Sony, the Apple bookstore, and Diesel e-books. For a limited time, the price is .99. That's 67% off the normal retail price of $2.99. Unlike many young scribes starting out, it is Christopher's belief that independent authors should pass the savings on to the customers. "If the book doesn't have the overhead expense of a publishing house, why charge a publishing house price?"

Christopher does not have an illustrious background. He does not have a MFA. He never set foot inside a Gotham Workshop. He is just a man with a laptop, Microsoft Word, and a drive--a drive  to entertain the masses and change his circumstance.

He is currently a courier who works in Manhattan, Monday through Friday. Often, he comes home too exhausted to write, but due to his passion for the project, and his belief in the project's message, he finds a way to adapt. He finds a way to push forward.

For the most part, Christopher is a hidden man with a hidden talent. He has written a hidden treasure of a book. And now, he is seeking bring everything to the light.
