RAAARRGGGH! I AM A MIGHTY NOVELIST AND ALSO DINOSAUR!
Hello. Welcome to the biography of Chris Braak, famous playwright and book-writing-guy. You may have heard the rumors that I am actually a velociraptor in disguise, wearing a suit that I made from the skins of my human victims, but that's obviously absurd! I mean, how, if I were such a thing, could I ever type? I'd need some kind of mechanical apparatus that fit over my saurian talons that I was able to use to manipulate an ordinary keyboard. I'd call it a talonic-mechano-typewriting engine, IF SUCH A THING EXISTED. Which it doesn't.
Anyway, read some of my books, or risk being devoured.
Also, I'm just adding anyone as a friend if we have more than 30 books in common. If there's a better criterion for friendship, I can't think of what it might be.
