Chris M. Arnone was weaned on comic books and Hardy Boys novels, finding his first literary love in Lord of the Flies, though his longest-lasting is a love for Ray Bradbury. He reads and writes nerdy fiction in equal parts with literary fiction and poetry these days, but his imagination still leans toward the magical.



He's a co-founder and former co-owner of Bohemian Cult Revival. He also performs on many stages in Kansas City, where he lives with his wife Christy and their cats. ​



He has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Missouri - Kansas City.
