Autorenporträt
Since he was a child, Christopher Amato dreamed of working in law enforcement. After earning a degree with honors in criminology from Florida State University, he began working as a federal agent. Upon retirement, he pursued another longstanding dream, turning his attention to writing. His first two books are crime thrillers, followed by his collection of short stories. Christopher is married, a proud father of three sons, and a grandfather to two teenage boys. He and his wife currently reside in North Carolina, but they lived in Italy for almost a decade, traveling around Europe house and pet sitting, having a blast and learning how people in the world live. He makes a to-die-for vegetarian chili from his own recipe and is known for his quiches.
