- About Me: Christopher F. Brown was born in Oakland California and is a proud Bay Area native. At the age of four a young Christopher took to re-writing the ending of one of his favorite children’s books because there were not enough mythological creatures, and also because he just did not like the way the story came to its conclusion. This action sparked a love writing that has stayed with him to this day.
At the age of ten Christopher was given an assignment in which he was to write a short story about his summer vacation. This typical assignment again summoned the budding young writer’s creative spirit. He wrote a ten page short about a young boy of nine being stabbed in the chest on the way to buy the morning newspaper for his mother. It was from this assignment that a fifth grade teacher gave young Christopher his first journal however; Christopher hid his journaling away from foreign eyes for years.
Journaling was the place where Christopher hid is thoughts, frustrations, poems, stories, and secret desires (and confusions about those secret desires) for the random boy he happen upon in the school’s hallways while pretending to be your average, ordinary teenage male.
Fast forward a few years, a few failed relationships, and a few hundred journals later a friend happened to come across one of his poems and literally begged him for more. After many protests the friend finally convinced Chris to post some of his writings on-line. With the amount of positive feedback he received a more confident writer was born. With this new found confidence Christopher picked up a paint brush and a camera and dove head first into other forms of artistic expression.
Today Christopher still posts a vast amount of poetry, short stories, other writings, paintings, and photographer on his web site http://a1abwriter.wordpress.com/
Christopher is currently seeking to publish his first book, writing the second, has self published several collected works of poetry, and has been a quest speaker and featured poet on the radio show Yakety Yak hosted by 9th Floor Radio located at Laney College in Oakland, CA. Christopher is continuously writing poetry, painting pictures. If you would like to contact him just go to the contact us section
