About Chris Neo

Chris Neo was born in Cyprus and later lived and worked abroad, where he practised hypno-psychoanalysis and therapeutic counselling with clients from diverse backgrounds. His years of clinical experience dealing with emotional trauma, relationships, attachment, loss, obsession, and the complexities of human behaviour gave him unusual insight into the hidden dynamics of the human mind and heart.

Through years of therapeutic practice, Chris observed a recurring pattern that challenged conventional Freudian thinking. While classical psychoanalytic theory often places sexuality at the centre of psychological conflict, Chris came to a different conclusion through direct clinical experience: many of humanity’s deepest emotional and psychological struggles originate not from sex itself, but from love — the longing for it, the loss of it, the misunderstanding of it, and the illusion of it.

This philosophy became the foundation of the Beyond Eros trilogy:

• Beyond Eros
• Between Eros
• Love Beyond Eros

Although presented as emotionally charged adventure-romance fiction, the trilogy carries deeper psychological and therapeutic themes beneath the surface narrative. Chris writes not only to entertain, but also to provoke reflection, emotional recognition, and personal insight in the reader.

Outside writing, Chris Neo built a successful business career across several industries, combining expertise in business, economics, and entrepreneurship. While managing multiple companies over many years, he continued developing his fiction during late nights, travel, and rare moments of free time. The completion of the trilogy was therefore a long creative journey shaped by both life experience and disciplined persistence.

Unlike traditional literary authors, Chris deliberately adopts a highly immersive storytelling style driven primarily through emotional dialogue and character interaction. Influenced by storytelling thinkers ranging from Aristotle to Joseph Campbell, as well as modern story structure teachers and screenplay theorists, he developed a narrative approach focused on emotional momentum, psychological realism, and continuous story movement — where every scene and sentence serves the unfolding drama.

Chris often describes storytelling ideas as arriving spontaneously — sometimes through dreams, quiet reflection, or what he calls “sleeping thoughts.” Encouraged years ago by his young granddaughter Zoe, he began recording these story concepts before they disappeared from memory. Since then, he has accumulated dozens of unpublished story ideas, many of which may become future novels.

Readers can expect future works from Chris Neo to continue exploring themes of love, illusion, sacrifice, psychological conflict, and human vulnerability through emotionally intense storytelling. Planned and developing titles include Assassin’s Love, 99 Kisses, Only A Woman Knows Best, and Names Are Not Important.

Additional Featured Novella – Assassin’s Love

Assassin’s Love is a psychological romance-thriller novella where a woman who hires an assassin to eliminate her partner unexpectedly falls in love with the young and charismatic killer she employed.

As complications, emotional entanglements, and dangerous new obstacles prevent the main assassin from completing the assignment — while also threatening to expose the hidden criminal network behind the operation — a second assassin is sent to finish the job. When loyalties begin to fracture and the assassin’s professional code is broken, even more ruthless operatives are deployed to eliminate all loose ends.

But the intended target possesses unexpected talents and survival abilities that force the assassins into increasingly desperate and violent confrontations. At the very moment when bloodshed seems inevitable, genuine love emerges in a way none of them anticipated, turning carefully constructed plans upside down.

One thing becomes certain: there will be blood… and there will be love.
