Special Author To Speak at Library

On Tuesday September 10th writer Chris Cobb will speak in the Reference Room of the Greenville Public Library at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to hear Chris discuss his three books and his writing experiences. This is a great opportunity to meet a very interesting and creative author of both fiction and non-fiction.

Chris’s latest novel is Falcon Down, an exciting Cold War story about a pilot shot down and imprisoned in Siberia who discovers a dangerous espionage program - and needs to escape to reveal it. Thanks to his sister who speaks fluent Russian he got the language and culture right! Chris’s description of how he came to write it is amazing in itself. Falcon Down is the first in a series with Falcon Rising coming out in December 2013.

Another novel Phoenix is also the first of a series called the Outlander Chronicles. It’s a post-apocalyptic story about a young man who wants to replant civilization after the biological destruction of the world - “a parable of forgiveness disguised as a shoot-em-up.” The third book A Prayer of Moses is a devotional commentary on Psalm 90, “the result of a sabbatical.“

Chris describes his life as a “patchwork quilt” due to his many jobs and experiences. He comes from a high achievement family in the arts, sciences, and religion, and has worked in computer programming, taught high school math, then studied to become a pastor at Westminster Theological Seminary. His current church is Bible Fellowship in Greenville. Chris is very proud of his artistic family (his daughter did the covers for the books).

His books are available on Amazon and he’ll have copies with him. Check out www.chcobb.com for more info and be sure to join us on the 10th!
