In his day job, Chris has been a journalist for the last twelve years and he has written prolifically about film, TV and literature in his spare time for the last eight years. Hopefully, his fiction is more imaginative than his news stories.

Stories have been Chris’ passion since reading Roald Dahl and Stephen King when he was young, and he has come back to writing them in short form many times.

He has written background stories for the sci-fi tabletop game Astrabellum, published online, and had fiction published online at Seven Stories. He has also had a story accepted for publication in the June 2026 edition of Horrorsmith Magazine.
