About Chris Behrens
C. (Chris) Behrens is also the author of Savanna’s Treasure, which received the Indie B.R.A.G. Medallion in 2015 and a Silver Medal in the 2015 Moonbeam Awards for the Early Reader / 1st Chapter Book category. Chris received his bachelor’s degree from Dominican College (now a university) in New York. He began writing while attending college on weekends, working full-time, and raising two daughters. Ironically, he tried to avoid English classes when he returned to college as an adult. However, inspired by his professors, he grew to love reading and writing. In 2023, he received an award from Writer’s Digest for his poem: a basketballer’s ditty in the Rhyming Poetry category. That poem is being turned into a picture book and is expected to be available in 2025! In addition to graduating Magna Cum Laude from Dominican University in 2010, Behrens earned a Public Works Management Certificate from Rutgers in 2017. He also earned a minor in Art and loves to create! He considers watching his daughters play high school softball the best time of his life. He lives in Montvale, New Jersey, and recently retired from the Borough of Woodcliff Lake after 31 years.
