Chris Kuzneski is an American author, best known for his thriller novels. He is the author of the Payne & Jones series, as well as the Hunters series. Kuzneski's love for writing began at a young age, when he wrote "The Monster Cookbook" as a child. The librarian was so impressed with his work that it was added to his school library. This early experience sparked a passion for writing that would stay with him for the rest of his life.
After graduating, Kuzneski became a teacher, a profession he pursued for six years. However, his dream of becoming a novelist never left him. In pursuit of this dream, he left teaching to focus on his writing. This leap of faith paid off, as Kuzneski has since become a bestselling author, with his thrillers being translated into over twenty languages and selling millions of copies worldwide.
Kuzneski's success as a writer has earned him praise from some of the top authors in the world, including James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Lee Child, and Clive Cussler. His writing has been described as having "the same raw power as the early Stephen King" and being "as forcefully as his tough characters act." Kuzneski's books are known for their high-stakes, fast-action, and vibrant characters.
In addition to the Payne & Jones series, Kuzneski has also written the Hunters series, which has been well received by readers and critics alike. One of his books, "The Hunters," is currently being made into a major motion picture. Another, "The Prisoner's Gold," won the ITW Thriller Award for Book of the Year. Kuzneski is the first (and only) action/adventure author to win this prestigious award.
Despite his success, Kuzneski remains humble and dedicated to his craft. He continues to write, and his fans eagerly await each new release. Kuzneski currently resides in Florida, where he spends his time writing and watching movies and sports.
