Chris is a base brat who's either lived at lonely Prairie radar stations or next door to goblins and witches in the Black Forest. He was born in Toronto and has lived in different locations in Western Canada and Germany. Growing up in different environments gave Chris a keen sense of landscape, from the rolling foothills of Alberta to the endless red sunsets of the Prairies. In Germany he spotted mermaids in the Rhine and hobgoblins in castle ruins in the Black Forest, which is likely why he earned a degree in English and Medieval History (rather than, say, doing something useful like striving to become an accountant, lawyer or gaining an MBA.) He now lives in Winnipeg with his wife and two daughters, working at home as a writer and web designer (very difficult with two toddlers!) His fiction ranges from magic realism to science fiction and fantasy to visions of post-apocalyptic futures (as an outlet for dropping frightened characters into situations and seeing how they react - which is often very surprising and rewarding!) Favorite authors include Neal Stephenson, Harlan Ellison, Samuel R. Delany, Charles deLint, Dan Simmons, J.G. Ballard and China Mieville. Plus, the first four books of The Dark Tower.
