Chris Mullen

Chris Mullen is an award-winning Author from Richmond, Texas. He grew up listening to stories of the old west, imagining he was right there with Gunslingers and Comancheros, fighting for survival in an unforgiving time. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1997 and began his teaching career. Spending 23 years in the classroom, both in Kindergarten and PreK, Chris' imagination and love for storytelling blossomed.

Because of his dedication and love for the classroom, Chris was awarded the 2019 Connie Wootton Excellence in Teaching Award presented by the Southwest Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES). Chris recently released his novel, Rowdy: Wild and Mean, Sharp and Keen, the first book of his Rowdy western adventure series and is currently working on the next installment. Chris’ book was named winner in the 2020 American Fiction Awards, and was named a Best Book Finalist, both sponsored by American BookFest.
