Formerly a teacher at Hezlett Primary School in Castlerock, Chris now lives in Manchester and says he has always been a reader - at primary school, teen amateur sleuths The Hardy Boys inspired his love of adventure before his reading world was opened up by Chuck Palahniuk and the gritty world of crime.
