About the Author
“Christopher Thomas is a gifted newcomer to the writing scene. As a stand-up comedian and
someone who has gone to hell and back in his life, he has managed to take these two elements and blend them masterfully into a roller-coaster story filled with intrigue, suspense, and humor which should pleasantly satisfy anyone with a taste of adventure and comedy. For Christopher, I see a bright future and more adventures to come!”

About Chris by Chris
I began writing stand-up to combat my internal feelings. If I could turn my pain, suffering, trauma, and my lifetime worth of mistakes into laughter and smiles, I would have done something good with my life. So, I began writing good stand-up…except I was shy, nervous, socially awkward, and suffered from terrible anxiety. Couple that with multiple traumatic brain injuries, brain damage, and a seizure disorder, and you don’t exactly have the best candidate for stand-up comedy. However, that didn’t stop me, but I wasn’t getting much better with practice. So, I decided on another route: Create a character that could perform my jokes for me. Right then was when the idea formed for The Adventures of Kushman and Savage. I’m so excited about the depth of these characters and the possibilities that lie ahead for them.
