Derek Hunter is a writer of fiction and non-fiction, and the founder of Love Chaos, a non-dogmatic, agnostic philosophy and way of life. Hunter created Love Chaos in 2014 with the publication of the first book, Love Chaos. It was conceived as a means for Hunter to help himself in a dark time in his life, and also to help others. Love Chaos grew and developed as he grew and developed, resulting in the publication of the second book to Love Chaos, Love Chaos in Theory and Practice in 2019, then culminating in 2020's The End of the World.
Hunter is currently at work for the third book in The Story of Us All Trilogy: Red, which will be published in August of 2022. White, the second book in the trilogy, was recently published in August, 2021 (Black, the first book, was published in 2018). Once the trilogy is complete in 2022 with Red, Hunter will begin (in full, as it is currently in the beginning stages) working on another fictional trilogy, a surrealist/realist investigation of Shakespeare, to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare's First Folio.
The works of fiction that Hunter has written and published defy standard genre categorization. They are not experimental since the main focus of the books are to tell a story, and yet they seek to entertain in unconventional ways, especially when compared with modern fiction writing. Novels, short story collections, and trilogies, they explore the depths of human psychology and relationships while also penetrating the bizarre and unsettling nature to existence. The tragic, absurd, and dramatic is part of the characters' journeys but also just as much is their joy, humor, and triumphs.
All aspects to Hunter's work is inter-connected to one another, through his philosophy of Love Chaos. Each separate part though - a book, an album, Love Chaos itself - can be appreciated and enjoyed separately.
