Christopher Gardner is an Ohio native who currently resides in Pittsburgh, PA with his wife and two sons. As Vice President of Advertising for one of the top ten mattress companies in the United States, Chris helps create advertising campaigns and negotiates advertising across all mediums. His extensive experience in the business world provides a unique perspective that informs his writing. However, Chris' true passion lies in the great outdoors and seeking new adventures, a love cultivated during his time as an Eagle Scout. "The Other Side of the Sun" marks Chris' debut as a novelist. The idea for the book was sparked by his interest in survival scenarios and his curiosity about how people might react when suddenly stripped of modern conveniences. Drawing from his business acumen and outdoor skills, Chris crafted a tense, thought-provoking tale of community and survival in the face of societal collapse. When not writing or working, Chris enjoys hiking, camping, and exploring the natural beauty of Pennsylvania with his family. He's an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, with a particular interest in history, science, and speculative fiction. Chris hopes that "The Other Side of the Sun" will not only entertain readers but also prompt them to consider their own preparedness and the value of community in challenging times. He is currently working on his next novel, which also explores themes of resilience and human nature in extraordinary circumstances.
