He received a bachelor's degree and a master of arts in radio-TV at the University of Michigan and a PhD in theater from the University of Nebraska.

Career

[edit | edit source]

From 1972 to 1987, he taught at Montclair State College, then moved to Champaign, Illinois, and became a full-time writer. In 2000, he resumed teaching radio and television, at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, New Mexico. He retired in 2009 and moved back to Champaign. Chris died on June 10, 2018, from Parkinson's disease.[7][8] Stasheff has been noted for his blending of science fiction and fantasy, as seen in his Warlock series, which placed an "'epic fantasy' in a science-fictional frame".[9][10][11] Stasheff's writing is often seen in the moral and ethical mentor style similar to Terry Goodkind, Terry Brooks, or J. R. R. Tolkien.[12]
