Welcome to the official website of Chris Curran, author of psychological thrillers.
I love talking about my novels and those of other writers I admire and I frequently appear at book festivals and enjoy chatting with book groups. So do contact me if you’d like a visit. I’m also happy to talk with your group on Zoom if you are too far for me to travel to you.
And go to the ABOUT page to find details of my appearances this year.
If you’ve read all my novels and still haven’t had enough (!) One of my short stories is in this wonderful new Crime Writers’ Association anthology Midsummer Mysteries along with a host of wonderful crime writers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Midsummer-Mysteries-Short-Stories-Association/dp/1804177261 https://www.flametreepublishing.com/midsummer-mysteries-short-stories-isbn-9781804177266.html https://www.amazon.com/Midsummer-Mysteries-Short-Stories-Association/dp/1804177261
