With his boyish smile and sparkling blue eyes, Cape Cod author and travel writer Christopher Setterlund, is a natural born story teller. The tone of his writing is distinct and honest--drawing his reader into worlds of both fact and fiction. Born November 2, 1977 with an active imagination and keen sense of self, Chris started out writing poetry. He graduated from high school and went on to college where he studied journalism, creative writing and graphic design.  He often says his Abnormal Psychology classes helped him to develop some of the "weirder characters" in his books. By 29, he had over 600 poems to his acclaim. Since then, he's been writing feverishly, with little rest in between, authoring two children's books, two full length novels, five short stories and over 100 New England travel reviews. His books cover a mixture of genres ranging from  horror/suspense and police drama to adult humor and science fiction. Chris' work has been featured in Cape Cod Today, Plymouth Daily News and, most recently, here, on All Things New England. In 2008, Chris started his own website, Christopher Setterlund, followed by a travel blog, In My Footsteps. Currently, Chris considers himself to be the "classic starving artist", ironically working by day as a cook in  one of East Dennis' fine restaurants, The Marshside. In addition to his website, Chris' books are available through Amazon's Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble and The Apple Store, Sony. I was first introduced to Chris in March of 2010 and was taken by his enthusiasm for New England travel and history and his  passion for writing. These common interests drew us together and since then we've developed an amazing working relationship, that, to put it simply, works. Humble and somewhat shy by nature, Chris was apprehensive to agree to this interview at first--but with a little cajoling, I was able to convince him otherwise. Read on, he's worth getting to know.
