I’m Christopher Blankley,
I write science fiction and mystery novels for both adults and young readers.
That’s me, over there.
Now you know.

I live in Seattle, which serves as a backdrop for most of my work. I was born in the United Kingdom, but moved to the Pacific Northwest as a child. My two children, Ruby and Jack, star in my young reader series, The Bobbies of Bailiwick. My wife is in none of my books. She’s probably happy about that.

I’m currently working on a novella about vampires and Neo-Conservatives. They have more in common than you might think. I’m also working on a novel about locative computer games and a cataclysmic earthquake in the Northwest. They have more in common than you might think, too.

• Crown of Creation on June 20, 2012
  
  Crown of Creation is a solid freshmen effort from Robert Arias. If you enjoy a good Clive Cussler, you'll be at home with Robert's clean, no-nonsense prose. The book is at its best when it's knee-deep into its mystery, bouncing back and forth between Colorado and Philadelphia, contrasting the prosperity of the new West with the desolation of the old East. Realistically, however, you will have to arrive to the book already converted to Robert's brand of self-reliant politics to fully enjoy its narrative, it takes little time in any attempt to convert the unconverted. It runs short, and loses a star for never really fleshing-out its protagonist. Adam Henry's character is murky, and therefore the motivations behind his ultimate actions are rather inexplicable. The novel, potentially stretched out to a full sixty/eighty thousand words, would serve its rich, well-drawn setting far better.
  
• These Flowers Have a Taste for Blood on Jan. 27, 2013
  
  Poor Luke. Trapped in the town of LeVir Lake, a walled, suburban commune, that can be found on no map. No friends, no phone, no Internet...but things begin to look up when the two hottest girls in town start to show an interest in him. Too bad, one is a vampire hunter and the other, the human progeny of the town's bloodsucking masters. Poor Luke. What's a boy to do but fall in love with them both? These Flowers... is a well-written, teen page-turner, that enjoys its delicate, romantic dance, right before it plunges you (literally) into the depths of LeVir Lake's ancient secrets.
