Chris SharpeChris Sharpe - Author Profile When Chris was seven or eight, his teacher asked the class to write a short story and bring it to school the following Monday. When he presented her with his inspirational effort she read it, ripped it in half and threw t in the bin. 'Your father wrote that!' she accused, implying that he couldn't possibly have produced something of the quality she'd just read. Ever since then he's been trying to prove her wrong. After countless failed attempts to get the interest of a publisher, Chris made it into the last sixteen of a national writing competition organised by HarperCollins with a book was called Hooked. In spite of the event being televised, fame was short-lived and there was still no interest or offers of publication. Following some sound advice from Sophie Hannah, one of the judges of the competition, Chris set about writing more books with renewed enthusiasm. Rather than take his new books around the traditional publishing houses, Chris decided to self-publish them both as eBooks and in print, starting with the Liberator series. He continues to strive for recognition. Chris works as an addiction counsellor and lives with his wife in Worcestershire. UK. Read More Read Less
