Chris M. Rutledge is originally from Chicago, IL and currently resides in Los Angeles. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale where he also pledged Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He began his creative writing by penning short stories in 1997, later started a novel, then subsequently transitioned into screenwriting in 2009 after taking a screenwriting course at Emory University. The transition to screenwriting was appropriate since Chris has a strong interest in writing, fused with a passion for film. He has written several feature-length screenplays over the years. Chris decided to "reverse engineer" one of his screenplays into a novel, which would eventually become his first published novel, "Murder at Venegoni's" followed by "ASCLEPIUS" in 2019. His third novel, "We The People" was published in 2020 and was also adapted from one of his screenplays. In 2018, Chris worked as Producer and Director to bring one of his screenplays to the big screen; a short film titled, "Trombone Jones." This film has gone on to become an official selection in several film fests and is currently streaming on several platforms including Apple TV. Chris currently juggles both screenwriting and novel writing and plans to write future novels based on his screenplays and vice versa. Chris is also a huge fan of Boxing, so there's usually one Boxing reference in each of his stories.
