About Chris
Hello! I'm the author of two children's books--The Silver Creek Secret and Lessons From the Cape. I'm self-published, but I really want to be published the traditional way. I love writing fiction for kids, especially 8-12's. When I'm not writing, I teach elementary school. (Between jobs right now!) I also love traveling in Europe!
