Chris Orcutt is an award-winning novelist and professional writer with more than thirty years of experience and over a dozen meticulously crafted works to his name.
Born in Maine and based in New York’s Hudson Valley, Chris has spent his life pursuing excellence in storytelling. A summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate in philosophy, he began his writing career as a journalist for Taconic Newspapers and The Poughkeepsie Journal before turning to fiction, earning acclaim from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews for his Dakota Stevens Mystery Series and One Hundred Miles from Manhattan.
For more than a decade, he devoted himself entirely to his magnum opus, Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome—a nine-book epic capturing the raw, hilarious, and poignant heart of 1980s American adolescence. Dubbed “Lord of the ’80s” and “The American Tolstoy,” Chris embodies the spirit of literary devotion: writing on typewriters, shunning the internet, and chasing authenticity one page at a time.
When he’s not writing, Chris enjoys old movies, Peanuts comics, and cross-country skiing with his wife and Muse, Alexas, and their dog Dashiell Hammett.
