Chris Hauty

Chris Hauty is a bestselling thriller author best known for the “Hayley Chill Thriller” series of novels. The author was born in San Antonio Texas in 1956 but was raised in Delaware. He loved the state and the cultural and geographic relocation was made more tolerable by his obsession with Greek mythology and relative youth. As a teenager, he went to Reed College and after graduation, he moved to New York where he started writing plays and supported himself working as a graphic artist and bike messenger. He had several of his plays produced Off-Off Broadway such as “Big Mouth,” “Shut Eye,” and “South of American Business.” He sold “Don Coyote” his first screenplay to 20th Century Fox and this is what triggered his move to Hollywood in California. He would spend more than three decades working as a screenwriter working in nearly all genres, with every major movie studio and even collaborated with professionals ranging from Jessica Alba and Mel Gibson.
