Chris McKeithen is a storyteller, entrepreneur, and creative visionary from East Texas. He is the author of The Twilight of Empires trilogy, a sweeping blend of historical fiction and fantasy that explores courage, faith, and the unseen forces that shape human destiny.

Beyond his novels, Chris is also a writer of Christian devotionals and thought-provoking works that tackle life’s toughest questions through the lens of faith. His books invite readers not only into gripping stories, but also into deeper reflections on hope, perseverance, and God’s power at work in everyday struggles.

When he isn’t writing, Chris is deeply involved in his East Texas community and a proud veteran with a background in military service. He brings themes of leadership, resilience, and integrity into both his professional and creative life.
