Writing Fiction as C. S. Hart

I am a writer and author of fiction, including crime, suspense, mystery, and thriller fiction, and speculative fiction. But also op-ed, humor, and commentary on American Christianity, culture, politics, weird social norms, and stupid human tricks (which seem to be everywhere). I amuse myself.

To the left is Bella, my dog who is smarter than most people. To all my graceless Christian friends, that is not a beer in my hand and I’m not wearing sunglasses because I’m stoned on weed. Get behind me Satan.

Flattery and Lies From Famous People

Discover interesting nonsense but well-intentioned bullshit from readers who have never spent a dime on one of my novels because the stole them from a Goodwill Store.

Craig is an amazing writer. If I wasn’t dead, I’d probably visit his site more often and steal his plot ideas.

Sue Grafton

Famous Corpse Writer

C. S. Hart is good at writing even his farts smell like roses. Stephen King can’t even say that. I cans smell his shirt all the way across the room.

Craig is a wonderful creative writer, and much better looking then that asshole Dashiell Hammett. I’m not sure if I want congratulate him or kill him.
