Chuck Driskell is a mystery author best known for his "Gage Hartline Thriller" series. Born in the United States, Driskell is the youngest of five children. His love for fiction was sparked during childhood Sunday afternoon trips to the public library with his parents. He credits Stephen King's "The Shining" as the first novel he ever read.
After high school, Driskell joined the Army, a decision driven by a lack of college inspiration and funds. His Army career included stateside service at Fort Sill and as a paratrooper at Fort Bragg, but it was his two and a half years stationed in Germany that provided memories and experiences that would later inspire his writing. After his honorable discharge, Driskell embarked on a career in advertising, eventually co-founding B2B Media, Inc., a company that would become the second fastest-growing in South Carolina.
Driskell's writing career began in 2005, prompted by a friend's encouragement. Initially, he struggled with writing, starting by penning his own experiences before moving on to short stories and, eventually, novel-length tales. He has a passion for travel, particularly in Europe, which lends authenticity to his writing's geographical settings. Driskell's writing process involves writing early in the morning when his mind is fresh, allowing him to balance his writing with family time.
In addition to his love for writing, Driskell is a family man, a proud husband and father. He has a variety of interests, including post-punk British bands, "The Sopranos," and motorcycling. He is also a food enthusiast, enjoying steak and German and Spanish cuisines. Driskell is fluent in Spanish and German, although his proficiency may depend on his beer or cerveza intake. He is a man of strong beliefs and respects the beliefs of others. Driskell's life experiences, career, and interests have come together to create the talented and versatile writer he is today.
