After school, Chris did a short stint as a primary school teacher – definitely the second-best job in the world – and then started writing for kids and young adults. He continues to work as a casual teacher between writing commitments.
Arrival, the first book in the Phoenix Files series, is Chris’s first novel for young adults:
When Luke Hunter’s parents split up, his mum drags him to Phoenix, a brand-new town in the middle of nowhere. But Phoenix is no ordinary town. Luke soon finds himself at the centre of a plot to wipe out the human race.
And the clock is already ticking. There are one hundred days until the end of the world.
The remaining five titles in the series will be released in 2010-11.
Before starting on The Phoenix Files, Chris was a close associate of the enigmatic H.I. Larry, author of the popular Zac Power series. |
