Christopher Green was born in Middlesbrough, UK. He has also lived in South Africa, Germany and, since 1994, Japan, where he works for an IT company. He started writing shortly after moving to Japan, and one of his short stories was published in a magazine a few years later. Chris and his Japanese wife live just outside of Tokyo with their daughter. His hobbies include writing poor haiku in Japanese and playing darts badly—but not at the same time!
