Welcome to the new and improved Chris Manby website! Or Chrissie Manby website if you’ve come across my books since my name change (not a sex change, I promise). Here you’ll find everything you need to know about me, my novels and how I became a writer. I hope you’ll find the information on this site interesting and perhaps even useful. Thank you for visiting.

Best wishes, Chris.
