Chris Paling

Chris is very early retired and living on the beautiful south coast of Turkey with his wife and daughter.

He had always promised himself that he would try to write a book one day, but either never made the time or did not have the courage to start!!

A funny thing happened when he was 30,000 miles up in the air travelling home from Manchester. He had been thumbing through the in-flight magazine to pass the time and read an article about the bush fires that had recently occured in Australia, destroying the natural habitat of so many species, especially the cute koalas.

Three names came in to his head, Rumble, Tumble and Titch, together with the beginnings of an outline story. Three months later the first book was written and now Chris is on book three of a series of five adventures for his cute characters nicknamed 'The Furry Three'.
