He worked as Author Relations Manager for Tyndale House Publishers, the publisher of his first two novels.<\/p>\n<p>The thirteen years he spent working in author relations taught him the business of publishing as well as the psyche of writers.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, he made a deliberate choice of not wanting to be boxed in by a brand or a genre. Instead, Travis has chosen time and time again to write the stories that mean something to him at that moment. He views his first ten years of being published as training and practice. Those novels in many ways were written for himself.<\/p>\n<p>The four years of writing full time have taught him the discipline and determination necessary to make it as a novelist. They\u2019ve also served to close the chapter on what is hopefully just one era in his writing journey.<\/p>\n<p>The stories continue to fill his head like they did when he was in third grade. The only difference is that Travis now knows what to do with those stories. His goal continues to be to tell stories that move him as well as his readers. He wants to continue to experiment and take risks, but more than anything he wants to provide readers a satisfying experience.<\/p>\n<p>The dream remains the same. To try and write something magnificent. To make up wild worlds full of wonderfully rich characters. To make sense of the world through the stories he tells. And to try and inspire hope with the words he writes.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Travis and his books on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travisthrasher.com\/\">Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-X4mzPJB9vBs\/UPN4r9egT0I\/AAAAAAAAFlk\/BWu69lKc7eY\/s1600\/Hurt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-X4mzPJB9vBs\/UPN4r9egT0I\/AAAAAAAAFlk\/BWu69lKc7eY\/s1600\/Hurt.jpg\" width=\"135\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b>His Rebellion Will Soon Turn to Hope<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When Chris Buckley first encountered the mysteries of creepy Solitary, North Carolina, he had little idea how far he would fall into the town\u2019s shadows.
