We dig into how he brings cinematic pacing from his long screenwriting career straight onto the page.Chris's debut thriller, Deep State, became a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and a Barry Award nominee, marking the arrival of a bold new voice in political suspense. He followed it with the Caliba Award–nominated Savage Road, the high-tension thriller Storm Rising, and the acclaimed novella Insurrection Day—each one sharpening the edge of the Hayley Chill universe.And because this is FuelStopChats, we go beyond the books—talking motorcycles, storytelling, and the freedom of the open road. Chris is a Triumph Scrambler rider, and we explore how the rhythm of riding influences his creativity, discipline, and flow as a thriller writer.If you’re a fan of high-stakes fiction, sharp political intrigue, or just a great conversation with a talented author who also knows his way around a motorcycle, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
