Christian M. Lyons (Moderator): The mercurial nature of
Christian's personality keeps him happily busy with numerous writing
projects He is a multi-award winning writer in creative non-fiction (Digging
Holes In A Lake), novel-length fiction (Throwing Rocks At God), screenplays (Knock
On Wood, The Proposal - both with Karen Albright Lin), short fiction (Andante,
Andante; Still Life With Epiphany; Where To Stand In A War, Cold), and poetry (Time
and Tide, chapbook 1984).
In his "spare time," he is a freelance fiction editor, professional creativity coach,
writing mentor, dog whisperer, armchair anarchist, and works for the
government in a covert position that even he doesn't know about.
His work has appeared in Boulder Dogs Magazine, New York Magazine, Highlights
for Children, The Bark Magazine, Delicious Living, On The Edge, RockTalk Magazine,
Blue Mountain Arts, and Babel Magazine. He recently completed two supernatural
thrillers (The Vast, The Magician's Son), a number of short stories, and is trying
to figure out the effects of sleep deprivation on a writer's brain. Thus far the
results are inconclusive. The hallucinations are quite interesting, however.
He works in the following genres: general fiction, speculative fiction (horror,
fantasy, supernatural), literary fiction, and screenplay.
Christian is a member of Pikes Peak Writers, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers,
Northern Colorado Writer's Workshop, and an affiliate of the Horror Writers
Association. See more information at the Boulder Arts Resource. Contact
