About the author

Chris Corbett was born in the UK and grew up in Northern California. After attending university, he moved to Los Angeles, where he worked for Playboy Magazine, Walt Disney, and on an Academy Award-winning film. For eight years, he ran a publishing business with a unique connection to music history - his business partner was a brother-in-law of one of The Beatles.

Now based in Switzerland, Corbett has worked as a corporate storyteller for CEOs at various global headquarters, crafting narratives that shape finance and pharmaceutical empires. This gift for storytelling runs deep in his blood—his grandfather not only penned bestsellers in London's literary heyday but was also the BBC's first Artistic Director.

In his debut novel "Nirvana Blues," Corbett reimagines literature's greatest love story against the backdrop of Silicon Valley's dawn, where ambition and innovation collide with matters of the heart. His latest venture, the "Double Trouble" series, introduces readers to an irresistible mother-daughter duo who prove that wit and charm can be the perfect weapons for justice. These women don't just solve problems - they do it with style.
