Chase Taylor Hackett was raised on a farm in the Midwest – far from his current home in New York City. His first novel—WHERE DO I START?— was published by Kensington Books. While working on that book, he realized he had a character who was a total jerk, and he wondered what would happen if the jerk met a guy who had zero tolerance for jerks. AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW… he’d written another novel, also available from Kensington, and pretty much everywhere else. Chase lives in Manhattan with his partner Travis.
