Books
I published my first novel as Chris Manby in 1997 and have been popping out one a year ever since! You may have noticed that I recently changed my name to ‘Chrissie Manby’. This is a change I actually wanted to make with my second novel, having had one too many emails addressed to ‘Mr. Manby’, despite my author photo. That said, my geography teacher was the only person who ever called me ‘Chrissie’. I always introduced myself as ‘Chris’. My parents and my fiancé call me ‘Christine’. My friends call me ‘Manby’ or ‘Mambs’. And my best friend calls me ‘Mambelina’. Don’t ask me why.
Anyway, here are the books.
