Born in New Jersey and hopefully settled in Indiana for just a little while longer, Chris Latta is a recent Ball State University graduate with a BA in Creative Writing and a minor in Classical Cultures. He has been writing at a serious level since his freshman year of high school and has been the most prolific in the composition of song lyrics and reviews for hard rock and heavy metal albums. He has also dabbled in poetry, short stories, and novels of various genres and hopes to eventually add book/literature reviews to his repertoire.

In addition to writing, a few of his hobbies include drawing, singing and spending time with his loved ones. He is the lead singer/bassist of Indianapolis doom metal band Psychic Faith though he is an amateur at best in terms of the latter. He also enjoys speaking in the third person and receiving feedback, so let him know just what you think!
