Fiction. Chris Belden braids together stand-alone stories with candid wit, creating an intricate landscape of the human heart. From the comedy of a violent public kiss to a woman's floating heartache and hope after a broken marriage, THE FLOATING LADY breathes life into the algae-pocked Lake Tawaba.
About the Author: Chris Belden is the author of two novels, "Carry-on" and Shriver. He has also written screenplays ("Amnesia," starring Ally Sheedy)and his plays have been showcased in New York.
Chris has taught Creative writing in various forums for the past two decades: with the Bronx WriterCorps where he worked with senior citizens, with Literacy Partners inc., and in other non-traditional environments such as a soup kitchen and a welfare to work program in New York City. He currently teaches in the Ridgefield Continuing Education Program, in Ridgefield Connecticut and the Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown, Connecticut where he is the current Editor of Sentences literary journal. In 2012, Chris founded the Ridgefield Writers Workshop and a year later, cofounded the Ridgefield Writers Conference. Aside from fiction and creative non-fiction, Chris also teaches playwriting, screenwriting, film criticism, contemporary and twentieth century fiction.
His debut novel, Carry-On, was published by Rain Mountain Press in 2012. Followed by Shriver, also a novel, in 2013.
