Chris Mullen is an Author and Teacher from Richmond, Texas. He grew up listening to stories of the old west, imagining he was right there with Gunslingers and Comancheros, fighting for survival in an unforgiving time. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1997 and began his teaching career. Enjoying over twenty years in the classroom, both in Kindergarten and PreK, Chris' imagination and love for storytelling blossomed. Having spent a lifetime devoted to young children, Chris encouraged and guided their development of an active imagination. To enhance this drive for creativity, Chris helped his students bring their ideas to life on the big screen, producing original, student-created movies. Because of his dedication and love for the classroom, Chris was awarded the 2019 Connie Wootton Excellence in Teaching Award presented by the Southwest Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES). Chris has since retired from teaching. 

Chris' first novel, Rowdy: Wild and Mean, Sharp and Keen, was named a 2020 American Fiction Awards Winner for Westerns, a 2020 Best Book Finalist for Westerns, and 3rd Place Winner for Westerns in the Selah Awards.  He re-released Rowdy: Wild and Mean, Sharp and Keen, the first book of his Rowdy western adventure series with Wise Wolf Books February 24, 2022. Book 2, Rowdy: Redemption, was released March 31, and book 3, Rowdy: Dead or Alive, was released April 21.

His love for storytelling continues as he continues to write for Wise Wolf Books. Visit him on his website (www.chrismullenwrites.com), follow him on Facebook or Instagram (chrismullenwrites) and on Twitter (cmullenwrites) or contact him directly at chrismullenwrites@gmail.com.
