Autorenporträt
Christian Sturm was raised in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, not too far from the iconic skyline of the greatest city in the world. While struggling with dyslexia as a child he had difficulty getting through school, and being immersed in flights of fancy was given to daydreaming much of the time. He always loved to draw and was reprimanded upon occasion for adorning his text papers with decorative motifs. Being the hopeless romantic and dreamer that he was, he was always drawn to exotic and fantastic things. In his teen-years, he began to read science fiction, fantasy, and novels set in historical times. At the age of nineteen, he also studied acting in New York for a time but abandoned all attempts in a career as a thespian upon realizing how many would-be actors were still waiting on tables at the age of forty-nine. He also tried his hand at film-making and spent a year writing a screenplay for a movie he made. However, realizing that so much in regards to making films hinges upon raising money to make them, he left lights and cameras behind and turned to writing. It was the genre of heroic fantasy that he pursued, and after a few unpublished stories a tale began to evolve about Atlantis, one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
