An insurance agent by day, an author by night, Chris Zimmerman began his writing career while attending Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie.  His first outdoor story appeared in The Sault Evening News in 1986.  Since then, he started his own insurance agency in Mt. Pleasant, then Shepherd, which he still operates during normal business hours.  He has hundreds and hundreds of clients from as far away as Ishpeming in the Upper Peninsula to many, many more in the urban areas of southern Michigan.

On the writing front, Chris' work has been featured in many magazines and newspapers, most recently The Lansing State Journal and The Grand Rapids Press.  When he's not selling his novels at events across the state or writing his fifth book which will be a continuation of Forty Mile Point. Chris enjoys bird hunting near his home in Mt. Pleasant with his English setter, Joker.

Chris is pictured here at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan in July of 2004.
