Chad Zunker

Chad Zunker studied journalism at the University of Texas, where he was also on the football team. He’s worked for some of the most powerful law firms in the country and invented baby products that are now sold all over the world. He has wanted to write full time since he took his first practice hit as a skinny freshman walk-on from a 6’5, 240 pound senior All-American safety — which crushed both him and his feeble NFL dreams.

Zunker is the author of the David Adams legal thriller, An Equal Justice, as well as The Tracker, Shadow Shepherd, and Hunt the Lion in his Sam Callahan series. He lives in Austin with his wife, Katie, and their three daughters.

Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. Zunker's reply:

I’m currently knee deep in Lying Next To Me, a fantastic new domestic thriller by Gregg Olsen about a husband whose life gets shattered when his wife is abducted right in front of him. Of course, not everything is what it seems. As a husband with my own young kids, the book is absolutely gripping for me. Gregg and I share the same wonderful editor, Liz Pearsons at Thomas & Mercer, who recommended the book. After I finish writing David Adams #3, I plan to tackle my first domestic thriller. I can’t wait to get started!
