The Sky is the Limit for Christopher Abbott

2013-06-28 Chris Abbott

Christopher D. Abbott has a background in human behavioural studies. Having worked in IT, communications, safety and health, and sales, he has gained a good understanding about people and their behaviours. This has led to his interest in psychology. For many years, he has been an avid reader of crime fiction. Christopher has taken creative writing courses and from this, his ambition has always been to publish a character driven crime story, in the style of the great Agatha Christie. Christopher loves quirky characters, such as Rodney David Wingfield’s Inspector “Jack” Frost, along with Agatha Christie’s Poirot, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. The Idea of Doctor Pieter Straay, his Dutch Criminal Psychologist, came about by integrating the qualities he admired best in the three previous characters.

Christopher grew up in England and moved to the United States in 2010. He currently resides in Connecticut.  He loves to write and play music, which has been as much of a passion for him as writing is. He also enjoys cooking and is currently working on his next Doctor Straay novel.

  1. It’s a very exciting time. Sir Laurence Dies is really doing so well this month! 255 sold, against 188 last month. With a new book slowly coming together – I’m going for gold now!

    Thanks to everyone who has helped to push this boat out! Especially you, Alex.

  2. Great post Alex, now I have another one on my TBR list. ::shakes fist:: 😛 Congratulations Christopher, I can’t wait to read it. 🙂
