Chris Fabry

Greetings from Chris

Thanks for taking a look at my stories written from and for the heart.

My latest, Borders of the Heart, is a book I never thought I would write because I never thought I would live in the desert. The main character is J. D., a man with great loss who's trying to piece together his life and where to go next. He faces a choice in the opening pages that changes his life, and the lives of many characters.

You can see the trailer for the book to the right. And don't forget Not in the Heart, a tale of a broken man in search of redemption and the people who love him.
