Novelist Chris Formant is an accomplished business executive, early-stage investor, and entrepreneur. He has served on numerous public and private company boards. Most notably, he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Mortuary Tree is Formant’s third novel and his first foray into the horror genre.

His debut novel, Bright Midnight, received lavish praise and was dubbed the “Da Vinci Code for rock and roll fans.” In the thriller, Formant created a unique cold case murder mystery in which he reimagined the deaths of rock icons as a string of murders.

His second novel, Saving Washington, is the heroic story of the Maryland 400 and the Battle of Brooklyn. The Sons of the American Revolution called Saving Washington the “Killer Angels for the American Revolution.” Formant and the book were highlighted on America 250 on the Fox Network.

Chris divides his time between Baltimore, Maryland, and Sedona, Arizona.
