Biography[]
Christopher Nuttall was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1982. At a very young age, he developed an interest in science fiction, fantasy, and thriller novels. By age nine, he was reading Tom Clancy novels (much to the chagrin of librarians). As a teenager, he developed a love for history and politics, much of which he studied outside of school.
In 2000, he went to university to study librarianship. It was during this time, and especially during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, that he began to think of the conflict between political thought and real-life application. He likewise found a love for writing an alternative timeline, started an online alternative history magazine entitled Changing the Times. It was here that he began to receive feedback and begin discussions with others, perfecting his craft.
After college, Nuttall took a job in a used bookstore and did volunteer work in a charity shop and old folks home. Then, after reading a disappointing thriller book, Nuttall decided to see if he could try something similar, but better. His first manuscript was completed in 2005, though it was rejected. Continuing on, Nuttall began to write science fiction stories on a regular basis. He handed the reins of Changing the Times to someone else and began to write in other genres on a regular basis.[2]
He currently lives in Britain and Malaysia with his wife Aisha.[3]
