C. W. Schultz is an American writer born in Seattle, Washington on January 24, 1985. He graduated from Shorecrest High School in 2003 and Shoreline Community College in 2006.
At Shoreline Community College, two of his plays—A PEACH IN PLACE (2006) and DRAFTED (2007)—were workshopped. On July 5, 2007, Schultz released his debut novel YEVAL—a psychological-thriller/satire about a man who uses an imaginary monster to see through the eyes of a serial killer in an attempt to stop the madman’s crimes. Being a major animal lover, Schultz started 2008 with a short-lived blog about bird care for the fallen Seattle Post-Intelligencer called BIRDIE BASICS. Schultz also dedicated 2008 to writing trivia questions for game-show EASTERN EXPEDITION. In 2010, Schultz published his second novel entitled THE PACK, a whodunit thriller about a group of friends getting a little more than they bargained for when they dip their feet in the business of organized crime. Schultz describes THE PACK as a tale of book-smarts vs. street-smarts. |
On September 7, 2012, Schultz announced that his film WATCH would premiere at the Gig Harbor Film Festival on October 21, 2012. The response was favorable, with the film being placed as the First Runner-Up for the Director’s Choice Award for Best Short Film.
In promotion for WATCH’s official release, a Kindle Edition of YEVAL was released on September 18, 2012. THE PACK was released on Kindle on October 26, 2012 (its two year anniversary) in promotion for JILL, his third novel, which was released on Friday, December 7, 2012, on both Kindle and paperback. JILL is about a female serial who begins to fall in love with the detective investigating her crimes.
Schultz’s short horror story THE STAIRWELL, was released in the eighth issue of Sirens Call Publications in April 2012.

Yeval
|
Psychological-thriller/satire
In his debut novel 'YEVAL', C.W. Schultz explores the differences between the portrayal and reality of violence. Randy Mulray is on the threshold of madness, envisioning incommunicable murders in a room (called the 'Dark Room') he is mentally forced into by a monster named Yeval. A horror story like never before, 'YEVAL' flirts with the notion that violence in entertainment is too shallow and appealing for audiences to really grip the iniquity and futility.

The Pack
|
crime/mystery/thriller
Sigmund "Siggy" Farris and his five friends form a group called The Pack as a fun way to make some extra dough under-the-table by offering such services as bookmaking, event planning and organized gambling. The Pack is an unexpected success and eventually turns into a serious business with good money. But the tight-knit group soon find themselves in far more treacherous waters for bigger bucks and more power, forming partnerships with other organized crime groups. Soon their lives spiral into a frenzy of betrayal and murder. Conscience and righteousness are soon abandoned for survival. Layered with dozens of characters, each of whom drive the plot from beyond the concept that crime doesn't pay to the irresistible craving of power and wealth. There are people who live in a hostile lifestyle because they have no choice, and there are also those who choose this path to gain respect and importance they somehow couldn't find in the "honest" world. "THE PACK" examines both kinds of people. The six major characters are unwilling to accept that some things in life are inevitable; and in taking justice into their own hands, their fate turns out to be far grimmer than if they had turned a blind eye.

Jill
|
Horror/romance/thriller
At home, Rachel Rhodes is a mother and wife. At work, she is a manager. At night, she is the infamous serial killer known only as Jill. Her secret will eventually affect everyone in her life, from her family members to the detectives investigating the case. Luck starts off on her side as she befriends heartbroken detective Cole Dale, who's an important link to the investigation. However, that luck seems to fade when Rachel meets Cole's partner, an unorthodox and mentally unstable detective, Perry Charleton, driven by personal reasons to stop Jill using any means necessary. The novel is told in an omniscient narrative style, allowing the story to have a hauntingly neutral perspective which disguises everything as it progresses and leaves no room for predictability, entangling the reader in a web of evil. Layered with symbolism and motifs, leaving the story to come together like a puzzle through the characters' actions and interactions; its themes deal with such issues as dysfunction, impressionability and influence, sexism, racism and even humiliation. As with any C. W. Schultz novel, "JILL" is a study in candor. The author himself calls "JILL" "a serial killer soap opera" as Rachel seeks the romantic, fairy tale ending that only a deranged woman would believe possible after the things she has done.
