About this author

Christopher Meeks first published short stories in such literary journals as Rosebud, The Clackamas Literary Review, The Santa Barbara Review, The Southern California Anthology, and The Gander Review. His stories are now available in two collections, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons. He has two novels: The Brightest Moon of the Century, a story that Marc Schuster of Small Press Reviews describes as "a great and truly humane novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens and John Irving," and his new comic novel, Love At Absolute Zero.

He began as a playwright and has had three plays produced. Who Lives? A Drama is published.


A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare.

Christopher Kristen--

I joined Goodreads minutes ago, trying to get a sense of what Goodreads is. I've tried Library Thing and wrote about it, and a few people said I had to try Goodreads. So here I am trying it.
