Biography
Chris Bullock was born in 1950 in the heart of the Industrial Midlands in Staffordshire. Educated at Wednesbury Boys High School and then received a B.A. degree in Mathematics at York University, he started a career in Computing/Information Technology in 1971. Married in 1974, to Barbara, and bringing up his family in Derby sparked off his interest in genealogy.
After moving home, on promotion, to Cardiff, Wales and then subsequently to Cambridge with his employer, British Telecom, he retired from his career after 27 years, whilst living near Colchester.
His interest in Family History then prompted the desire to create interesting and entertaining stories around the dry bones of his genealogical research, and Bridget Coen, his great, great grandmother, was dramatically reborn in his debut historical romance.
In his spare time, Chris keeps chickens and ducks, practices the violin, does wood turning and travels around Europe.

Smashwords book reviews by Chris Bullock
- Kate and Ben
on Sep. 14, 2011
A nicely poignant short story with a shock ending. Well worth reading.
- Kiss on the bridge
on Dec. 29, 2011
A nice clean romantic love story, with a variety of adventurous obstacles thrown in. Some aspects of the romance were superficial and repetitive, but the whole story gelled together well and it was a pleasant read.
- To Dance Amongst The Stars
on Jan. 19, 2012
A future version of a classic fairy tale. Very well written and easy to read, but even though the story is familiar there are many interesting twists and turns that will bring a smile to your face. The only minor criticism that I could make is that, for me, it ended a little too quickly - I would have liked an expanded ending. I will certainly look forward to reading more of the authors stories - and possibly using a similar basis - more future fairy stories.
- Canada - When The Lights Go Out
on Feb. 08, 2012
I really enjoyed this travelogue. Having travelled to Canada on a few occasions and visited many of the places mentioned, I could relate to most of the experiences. If you want to read about things to do before visiting, this is ideal reading. Light hearted and humourous, and full of good advice - and its free - what more could you want. Davina, thanks for sharing your experiences - I look forward to more of your journeys.

I found the concept and the story very interesting and intriguing. It was a good story and a very good ending. The characters were all believable. This is well worth a read.
