Chris grew up in Manchester and spent most of his childhood in the local library dreaming up stories, but now lives in Gloucestershire where he spends most of his time in the local library dreaming up stories!

Before becoming a writer, he worked as an English teacher, editor and publisher—any job that let him keep a book close to hand. When not writing, he also works as a freelance publisher and education consultant and has written publications about encouraging children to read. Chris will be reading from his brilliant new book adventuring to a parallel universe.
