About

I am Chris Howard. I write science fiction, fantasy, both novels and short stories. I finished my fifth novel in June, working on the next in a new series. My first novel Seaborn (Juno Books) came out July 2008. My short stories have appeared in a bunch of places, mostly online zines, latest sale is Lost Dogs and Fireplace Archeology to Fantasy Magazine (April, 2010). I won the Heinlein Centennial Short Fiction Contest in 2007 for my story Hammers and Snails (amateur division).

I am also an illustrator, working in ink, watercolors, and digital formats. I have a pen and ink illustration in the last issue of Shimmer Magazine. My weekly updated graphic novel / web comic Saltwater Witch keeps me busy.
