: About Me

Born in 1978 in Cardiff, Chris Lynch is 50% writer and 50% IT consultant. By day, he is the Head of Software Development for FD Systems. By night, he is the writer of such things as Monkeys with Machineguns, Hammer of Time, The Magpye (coming 2007 from Markosia), Wrathbones (2026 Books), and comic strips for Accent UK (coming 2007), Something Wicked (coming 2007), and The Sorrow.

Over the past few years he's also written for magazines, web sites, and a wide range of other publications.

In late 2004, Chris formed the comic book studio "Monkeys with Machineguns" with long time friend and artist Stuart Tipples (AKA Stu.Art). Launching their first comic at the Bristol Comic Expo in early 2005, the studio was subsequently contracted to produce a quarterly horror and science fiction anthology for North American publishing outfit Open Book Press and in late 2007 signed a deal with Markosia to publish the four part mini-series "The Magpye".

Chris is also a frequent contributor to online forums and resources such as Wikipedia, Helium, and NewsForge.
