Chris is from Canada. He moved to England for the weather. If this surprises you, you probably haven't worked outside in 50 below or had to evacuate a bush camp because of a forest fire. Actually, that's not strictly true. He moved to England to follow his heart. Or possibly another organ a bit lower down. In any case, it had something to do with a woman. Sadly, the woman was unable to support him, so he had to get a job. After 25 years of helping the BBC build apps and websites he recently retired to devote himself full-time to a writing career.
