About the author
C.J. Livingstone
4 books5 followersMy name is C.J. Livingstone. I’m a writer and a musician. I’m originally from England but now reside in California. I write books that mainly focus on children or young adults because I find that stage of life so fascinating, when anything seems possible. I like mixing stark realism with fantastical elements and I like the idea that imagination is all you really need to be endlessly occupied.
I didn’t actually read too much growing up as I was more into music. I only had time for my guitar. I played in many bands on both sides of the Atlantic. That was the inspiration for my first two books—Hogtown.
I’ve had the idea for my latest book Santa Inc. for well over a decade and originally I wrote it as a movie script. But it languished on my computer until I picked it up in early 2018. When I had my own family I wanted to write an enchanted story for them about Christmas, which is one of my favorite times of the year. But I chose to go with a darker take on the theme.
I’ve always liked the idea that a story can be written on a number of levels, and can be enjoyed in different ways by both children and adults. I also believe that young people’s capacity for understanding complicated ideas is quite phenomenal too so I don’t try to limit any aspect of the story.
Also, for some reason the idea of business and factories seems to be a recurring theme in my writing. I grew up in an industrial town so maybe that captured my imagination from an early age.
