Grew up in Houston. I lived in the same house in Sharpstown in southwest Houston until I went away to college at Texas A&M.

Didn’t travel out of USA until 22. Prior to going to the UK to study abroad, I’d only left Texas twice—once to go to Disneyland in California and another time to go to Disneyworld in Florida. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to have visited 22 other countries, including Panama, Russia, Germany, and Australia.

Pug doggy daddy. Our 4-year-old pug is named Peppa Pug after Peppa Pig. She has her tongue perpetually out, even when she sleeps. (It’s her birthday today! 🎉)

Cuts own hair. I bought a pair of Wahl clippers during the first month of the pandemic and I’ve never looked back. It’s super convenient and only takes me 15 minutes to do.

Married on April Fools Day 19 years ago. My wife Kate and I got married in midtown Manhattan on W. 51st St. and got a price break by getting married on April Fools Day. We had our wedding photos taken at the Top of the Rock with the Empire State Building behind us.

Join me on my writer’s journey from nonfiction to fiction

chadswhite on July 13, 2025

Hello, everyone! I’m an aspiring novelist looking to connect with avid readers and other writers, especially in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. On this blog, I’ll discuss writing and publishing, and share the ups and downs of my journey to get my first novel published.

A little about my debut in-progress novel: I’ve made things extra hard on myself by making my first effort a 3-book dystopian sci-fi series set in a war-torn near future. My two heroes are new adults (18 and 19 years old) and the story revolves around them finding their places in a world where the two global superpowers are in an uneasy peace. The story also revolves around our two heroes finding each other and coming to terms with their broken families.

A little about me: I’m a tech industry veteran and former journalist who’s written five non-fiction books about digital marketing. As part of my day job, I’ve also written nearly 4,000 blog posts and articles about marketing, AI, and other topics. I’ll occasionally talk about my non-fiction book writing experiences, as those have given me the confidence to take on novel writing.
