edit data

Chris I. Naylor grew up in the English Midlands. At university he studied philosophy, which inevitably led to him writing humorous stories about wizards. After that he worked in an office for 30 years, mainly as a way of keeping out of the rain. He now lives in the south of England with his wife, and spends a surprising amount of his time making soup.
