Christopher Wright

Christopher Wright, born November 24, 1964, in Pontiac, Michigan, is the author of dozens of horror fiction books for children and young adults. He writes under the pseudonyms Johnathan Rand and Christopher Knight. Almost all of Wright's books (except American Chillers) take place in his home state of Michigan.

Biography Wright grew up in Waterford Michigan, until his family moved to Grayling after his 4th Grade year of school. He lived for a short time in Houghton Lake before moving to Petoskey for six years, then to a little cabin in the woods outside of Cheboygan before moving to Topinabee (about 25 miles directly south of the Mackinac Bridge) with his wife and two dogs named "Jelly Bean" and "Brody".

Wright's first novel, The Laurentian Channel, was written in 1995 and was accepted by an unknown publisher. However, the publication process took far too long, and during the time, he wrote his real first novel, St. Helena. The book was published exclusively as an audiobook in 1997, and the following year, it was published as trade paperback. In 2007, Wright became involved in exposing a case of animal cruelty, and documented the case on a website called "Thor's Warriors", a website that shows hidden animal abuse and cruelty cases to the public.

Chillermania Wright owns his own bookstore, Chillermania!, in Indian River, Michigan.

Wright uses two pseudonyms when writing — Johnathan Rand for the children's books, and Christopher Knight for the books aimed at adults.

When asked out of the books he had written what his favorite one was, Wright said it was Dinosaurs Destroy Detroit, but that he liked each one in a unique way.
