Chris Northern


Biography

Chris Northern is European, a traveller by inclination, and an electrical engineer by education. He has plied many trades over the years, determined to gain experience as he believed writers should. When asked what he does for a living, he tends to reply, "Whatever's to hand," and when asked why he writes novels, will usually say, "It's like blinking; it's just something that happens." He likes to tinker with car engines and will occasionally get them running for a while. He is often to be found eyeing the horizon; shortly thereafter, he is often found to be gone.

My name is Sumto. I have met the enemies of the city and prevailed, admittedly as much by luck as judgement. I could not have garnered the little success I can boast had I been alone: there is Sapphire, an assassin in the employ of my father; Meran, my former slave; and there is Jocasta, a sorceress of unexpected skill and strength. They all seem to care about me more than I probably deserve.

  • January Moon on Nov. 15, 2010
    star star star star star
    January Moon is an ambitious exploration of the ways in which religious fundamentalism is used as a screen for irrationality of all kinds. Using female mutilation as its underlying theme, it gathers a diverse range of characters into a page-turning thriller; along the way it also deals, among other things, with competition between crime prevention agencies and race relations. No-one is perfect; moral dilemmas abound. The family scenes are particularly well-drawn; an island of normality in a sea of madness (not forgetting the dog). A rollercoaster of a read! - Chris Northern (Author of The Last King's Amulet & The Key To The Grave)

    I was instantly charmed by writing of style and grace, a world of promised depth and complexity, and an engaging and delightful protagonist. This story is handled with a great deal of skill and the calm confidence of a writer born. I very much look forward to having the following prediction proven by events; Lindsay Buroker will be a No.1 bestselling author.
