Christian Schoon

Christian Schoon cut his wordsmithing teeth working as a house copy/scriptwriter at the Walt Disney Company, followed by a stint as a freelance script/copywriter in Los Angeles. After moving back to the Midwest, he bought a farm, started rescuing abused/neglected horses and helping to re-hab wildlife: black bears, cougars, coyotes, raccoons, assorted other critters. His animal welfare work, combined with his life-long SF geekery, inspired Christian to write his first book, the young adult science fiction novel ZENN SCARLETT. The book follows the adventures of a 17-year-old novice exoveterinarian specializing in the treatment of large, dangerous alien animals. Zenn Scarlett (April 2013) is the first in a series and debuts in the U.S. in April from Strange Chemistry, the stylin’ new Young Adult imprint at Angry Robot Books.
