You’re my favorite author. Thank you Chris. Please write me 200 more novels? I’ve told everyone about your books. I gave it to a girl in Target today and told her she needed to buy it. She did. It was the last one. We love you in California. Thank you. Susie❤️
Chris Whitaker I can absolutely do that, Susan. I just need a remote cabin and a locked door and I'll get on it!

Thank you very much for the support. Excellent sales skills! I'll be coming to California the second I'm allowed so that I can thank all the lovely readers and booksellers in person. (less)

Good Afternoon Chris, I have just finished reading 'We Begin at The End'; I found it compelling reading and the plot intertwined to get my brain matter on full bore. I live in Herefordshire and always keen on the Herefordshire/Hertfordshire confusion. I did notice at the back of the book - your bio says 'Chris lives in Hertforshire with his family - the d had been missed out? Best Regards Jayne
Chris Whitaker Thank you very much, Jayne. They actually dropped the 'd' to confuse all of my stalkers. …moreThank you very much, Jayne. They actually dropped the 'd' to confuse all of my stalkers. (less)

Chris’s Recent Updates

Chris Whitaker answered Wingit's question:
Ok. I will "ask the author". I have just started reading "We Begin at the End", and I can't figure out who Dubois is. It's right here on page 2. It says: "Walk stared at Dubois, head down..." It didn't mention a Dubois on page 1, and it hasn't mentioned a Dubois since. I asked my phone about it, and the AI answer ( it's 2025 now) told me that there is NO Dubois. So, is 'Dubois' a mistake?
Chris Whitaker
Hi, Chief Dubois is mentioned on page 1, 3, and again in chapter 35. Could you let me know what version you're reading? Thanks
