About Chad Hunter

 

Chad Hunter was born in East Chicago, Indiana. Raised by a single mother in the city's Harbor section, he is the youngest of four. Growing up in the Midwest and a proudly self-proclaimed "Region Rat," Hunter has written and published several books and novels. He has written for magazines and newspapers throughout North America and has been published in several languages. His writings have been called sophisticated yet humorous, sharp witted and unrelenting.

 

Most often, Hunter's writings have been considered so wide and diverse that they span a scale that would include multiple writers with multiple forms.

 

Like Hunter's other works, "Zack and the Zombie - No Bulliez Pleaze!" is a message and a homage - it's a message to raise awareness about bullying and it is a homage to those who both have suffered bullying and to those who have stood up against it.  Having experienced bullying first hand, Hunter is a strong proponent of empathy and kindness.

 

If anything binds his varied styles, it is Hunter's theme of the human condition, humor and family closeness - all to the backdrop of romantic love, vibrant remembrance and even monsters themselves.

 

Chad has lectured and presented to numerous elementary schools, high schools, colleges, businesses and community groups on the importance of creativity, literacy and written expression.
