A relatively quiet and introverted child, Christopher read voraciously (especially classic Science Fiction and Fantasy) and drew constantly. This was a great blessing, as the garden of his imagination was nurtured by brilliant writers from Tolkein to Anne McCaffrey, Peter S. Beagle to Asimov, Bradbury and Heinlein.Nowadays, he works as a professional artist and oil painter. He holds a BFA in Illustration from Academy of Art University in San Francisco and his artwork has been exhibited and collected across the United States and by a few collectors in Europe.The Hedge-Wizard's Commission is his first novel.He lives in Concord, California with a greedy, self-absorbed chihuahua and a temperamental cat.view less
