River Rats / River Rats (ePub)

Born in Harrow; living and educated everywhere else.



Since leaving school, Chris has worked in the Opal mines of Northern Australia, as a working miner/first aider then he completed a nursing course, before progressing to a full surgical residency at Darwin Hospital.



Whilst working as a surgeon, Chris did a Journalistic Course, which spurred his creative writing. On submitting his first piece and being lucky enough to receive not just publication in Australia, but also becoming an award winning story - Lost In REM - which earned great notoriety. This led to the point where he was invited to join Jeff Besos and about twenty other authors in an early discussion in Belgium, to explore the Amazon Books platform being created. He joined the National Geographic in the mid-1980s as a combined Medic and Copy Editor with the first job working on a field trip in Papua New Guinea - followed by other assignments with ecological ethos backgrounds. Along the way he also ended up covering war correspondence as he often seemed to be in the right spot to write newsreel events, during which time he visited the four corners of the earth.



One year, during a sabbatical with a friend he drove a 400 herd of Arab horses across the Trans Val from Libya through to Zaire, taking about 4 months for the trip.



He has achieved an MD, an MA in the English Language and another complete MA in Woodworking – three of his main vocations.
