I am a lover of writing and a lover of Jesus so because of this much of my writing is faith based. I believe that God is intricately involved with every aspect of my life. One thing that I realized years ago is that God seems to use music and sermons a lot to inspire my writing. God keeps giving me more, and more fiction to write.
My real name is Chris Jackson, though I write under the name C. J. Korryn. I write fiction and Christian fiction, along with short stories and Biblically based allegories and Bible stories through a more character-based lens. You can find an example of my Bible stories on my Wattpad page and (obviously) my Noah’s Ark novel. I also have a collection of three short stories published in one book “The Saint with Trin, and Omega Station” and am also working on a third book that I hope to have finished by December of 2018.
I decided to publish under C.J. Korryn mainly because I wanted something that would stick out, catch the eye, and make it easier to find and follow me on social media platforms. There is a sea of people with the name “Chris Jackson” from famous authors to sports players to musicians and painters, so I decided to find a pen name that few people had.
I grew up a military brat but stayed in Abilene Texas when my dad retired until I graduated high school. I then moved to Springfield Missouri to go to Bible college. After graduating, I soon joined the Air Force in Security Forces, and after one enlistment I returned to Abilene to get a teaching degree. I now teach English part-time at my local church’s school in Cedar Hill Texas and write full time.
Writing has been a passion of mine since I was a freshman in high school when I had a vocabulary assignment in which I had to write a fiction story using the vocabulary words. I have never stopped writing since, first writing my dreams into short stories.
