Featured Interview With Chris Smith
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Hi. My name is Chris Smith, and I was born and raised in South Africa. I’m currently living in Marina Beach, and I have 3 dogs.
I’m an author of 12 western novels and one fantasy adventure. Book 14 is on the way and I’m hoping to write a book per month for the foreseeable future. I grew up reading the amazing stories of Louis L’Amour, Dick Francis, Agatha Christie, and Robert Ludlum, amongst others, and always wanted to write my own stories.
In my spare time I fish, hunt, swim at the beach, and barbecue with friends and family. I love connecting with fans on social media and my writing goal is to break into the Top 100 on Amazon and stay there.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I began reading from age 6, but only started writing in my early 30’s, and only started considering it as a career in 2020.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I enjoy all sorts of genres from westerns to crime thrillers to spy novels and thrillers. Lee Child is a favorite of mine and I think that the Jack Reacher books are amazing. James Patterson, Dick Francis, Agatha Christie, Robert Ludlum, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle…the list goes on.
My family inspire me because they are all avid, readers and I’m always trying to drag their attention away from their favourite authors to my books.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Steve Savage, Bounty Hunter: Bounty in Brimstone.
I love heist movies, like Oceans 13, and decided to pit my heroes against an intelligent and vicious gang of bank robbers who are terrorizing the Mid-West. This is book 6 in the Steve Savage, Bounty Hunter series and I’m enjoying the chance to bring something new to the western genre with this team.
I love a good team-up, like the Avengers or the A-Team, so creating a diverse set of characters just felt right.
