Debut novel – out now
HELIOPHOBIA is out now from Montag Press in both electronic and paperback format.
Murray Sandman has issues: a debilitating stutter, shoes whose Velcro straps won’t stay shut, a basement full of nasty chemicals, and a career as a pricing gun repairman that’s fizzling out faster than a tired little meteor.
Oh yeah, and he’s afraid of the sun.

About Chris
Writer of stories. Editor of books and such. Ex-pat of America. Eater of plants.
I moved to Finland 12 years ago at the behest of a Finn. The experiences of living in a country with a frustratingly complicated language and a sometimes impenetrable culture has obviously shaped my identity as a writer and societal outlier, though all for the best.
