About the author
Chris Whyatt
12 books2 followersDuring swinging sixties London, Chris Whyatt was born into abject gravity... completely against his will.
During his teens, he was visited by Lucy Fyre, a much-maligned lady with a reputation that was mostly undeserved.
With the help of his translator, Trisa Whytch, she instilled in him a devilish sense of humour, which, like most things, people either hated, loved, ridiculed, or just plain misunderstood.
In later life, he apologised to those he'd upset.
Unfortunately, his Dad didn't hear the apology, as he was resting in peace.
Now... here's the boring bit.
He mainly writes humorous fantasy.
This is by no means a promise, though, and the right is reserved to pen whatever comes into his strange little mind with no prior warning.
You have been not warned.
