About The Author

Christopher J. Finn—born in 1970 in San Antonio, Texas, and raised in Oceanside, New York—was a child with few friends. He was the shy kid, mostly seen off to the side, acting out scenes from movies or stories from books. It wasn’t until his early twenties, sitting alone in his apartment, television off—because he didn’t have the money to pay the cable bill—that he picked up a book titled Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000. He was enthralled by Jonnie Goodboy Tyler and the Psychlos, but more importantly, he realized writing a story was something he could, and should, do. Today, twenty years after his decision to learn the craft, Christopher J. Finn sees his dreams come true with Dorothy and the Glass Key, his debut novel.
