They tell me I was born in Canada. I do like hockey, and I am wary of polar bears so they're probably right. I now live in New York City. When I need a break from writing and reading I head off to Central Park for a run where I imagine I'm much faster than I really am.
I started out in publishing as an editor at Ballantine/Del Rey of Random House before moving to Stackpole Books where I edited history and current affairs/conflicts books as well as the Stackpole Military History Series (you may have seen them, usually with green borders and a military medal on the cover and spine) . After 13 years as an editor, however, I finally made the leap to full-time writing in July 2013.
I'm also the author of the Iron Elves fantasy series which includes A Darkness Forged in Fire, The Light of Burning Shadows, and Ashes Of A Black Frost.
My first nonfiction military history title published in 2013. Bloody Jungle: America at War in Vietnam, features hundreds of photos gleaned from soldiers who fought there.

Cheers,
Chris
