My name is Chris Smithies and I am the author of the books on this site. I write them, edit them, create images using Blender and publish them. Maybe someday I’ll be able to hire someone to help me with some of this, but I’ll need to sell more books than the two I sold in 2024 for that!

I’ve been a Christian since 1987 when evangelist/cricketer Trevor Goddard visited our school and I heard for the First time about what Christ could do for me. I don’t currently attend a church, I probably would if there was a Calvary Chapel in my area though. I like to watch sermons and other Christian material online and follow Jack Hibbs, Michael Pearl, Tim Alberino, LA Marzulli, Ray Comfort and more.

I am married to the lovely Sharon Smithies and have three children. One of our boys has gone to be with the Lord and you can follow my imagining of his exploits in the book Millennium as the captain of the starship you see on the right here.

We have three dogs which is about three too many as they are all complete lunatics.

We are based in the Manchester area in the UK, so if you are a church goer in this area and you’d like to invite me there, please do!
