Christopher J. Thomasson
Summary
Christopher has been writing since jr. high school. He never felt that his work was worthy of sharing with others; it was his personal hobby that he did strictly for himself and a select few of his family and friends. Not until 2013 did he feel that his work could be presented for more than just his own enjoyment; it was then he decided he would like to share his imagination with others.While many of the poems are religiously inspired, Christopher likes to draw his inspiration from as many sources as possible, and this collection holds true to that theme. The varying topics, subjects, and stories within these pages will appeal to any reader.From the tears of Mary Magdalene, to the the flights of dragons, to a lone vampire thirsting to feed-this book holds a variety of free-verse poetry, commentaries, and short stories written over the past fifteen years that he hopes will inspire all who read it. Christopher J. Thomasson was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1972. His family permanently settled in the piney woods of East Texas when he was two years old. He discovered a love for reading and writing at a very young age and until recently, only ever wrote for himself, his family, and his closest friends.In April 2013, at the age of 40, Christopher suffered a mild heart attack while on the tennis court. Within a couple of days, he was undergoing triple-bypass surgery. Because of his love for tennis and the increased active lifestyle the sport provided, the doctors informed him of a miracle–with the clotting in his veins, his heart created new vessels to transport blood to those areas of the heart that were being depleted…and as a result of those new vessels, his heart had sustained no damage!As a result of this experience, Christopher realized that he has more to add to this life than merely existing–he has stories to share.
