Chris Jernigan is an orthodontist with twenty years of experience. Following his graduation from high school, Chris embarked on another eleven years of schooling, none of it for writing, although he was an English major for a brief cup of coffee back in 1992. Chris’s hobbies include decorating his practice with elaborate “worlds” for his patients to enjoy (inspired by films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Home Alone, and Jurassic Park), reading science fiction and fantasy, and playing guitar. Chris and his family live in Columbia, South Carolina. This is his first novel.
