Chris Flynn

I'm from Belfast, Ireland, but I live in Melbourne, Australia these days. I've written a couple of novels, been shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, appeared in dozens of magazines and newspapers (McSweeney's, The Big Issue, Smith Journal, Monster Children etc) and presented events at festivals all over Australia.

I also work as an animal welfare and behaviour officer in the cattery of the largest RSPCA shelter in Australia, where I look after stray cats and kittens that are sick, injured or stressed, and cats that have been rescued from inhumane breeding facilities.
