About
Hey, I'm Chris a sci-fi / fantasy author who lives in the south of the UK with my wife and daughter.
I write books about people who go on adventures and end up finding out they're better than they thought they were. Usually with weird twists.
I play bass in a wedding band and regularly travel the world to rock the party. When I'm not doing that I'm reading, hunting for mushrooms with my daughter, or trying to catch up on sleep. My favourite authors include Stephen King, Jeff Vandermeer, and P.G Wodehouse!

"Wow. That was… wow. So bizarre. So well-written."
"C J Powell is a great story teller with an odd thinking brain but that is in his favour."</br<
"Subtle. Funny. Dry (like desert arid, my skin has cracked and broken off dry). Emotional and sometimes even achingly so."
"a wonderful cast that literally jump off the page aided by some natural and very witty realistic dialogue."
