Christopher Gorman

Christopher Gorman was born in Uxbridge, Ontario and has loved reading, writing, and science since childhood.

As an adult, his fascination for fantasy and magic blossomed, and in 2001 he began making notes and drafts for his ­ first novel—Dawn of Magic: Rise of the Guardians— in which he explores what he identifies as the trilogy of powers in this world—nature (magic), faith, and science. A real-world student of magic systems throughout the world, but with a special focus on the Celtic magics, he had several careers from suits to cars to airplanes before rediscovering the story bubbling within.

His grandmother was from Gloucestershire and his grandfather was born steps from Helman Tor, Cornwall, and he feels a special connection to both places. He has explored ancient sacred sites in England, Cornwall, Wales and Ireland, and participated in pagan rituals in the mountains of both Wales and America.
