Biography
|
|
Chris Butler was born in Nottingham, England in 1964. When he was one year of age he decided to move to nearby
Melton Mowbray and his parents and brothers went along with that decision. He was unprolific in the pre-school years,
his artistic output being somewhat primitive in nature. At some point he realised that the outside world was difficult
to comprehend and so he developed a richly imagined internal one instead.
Despite having a very good English teacher, Chris inexplicably veered off into the sciences, eventually graduating
with a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Birmingham University.
While maintaining gainful employment doing stuff with computers, his need to tell stories eventually got the better
of him. And so he manages to find time to write fiction, which he loves despite (or perhaps because of) its endless
frustrations. He lives on the south coast of England and loves books, film, music and other modes of artistic
expression.
Chris is a member of the Montpelier writing group, and also
regularly attends the Milford UK
workshop, held annually in Wales over a week in late summer.
He is the author of the novel Any Time Now, and numerous other stories.

"Chris Butler delivers a charming timeslip romance...
Butler's writing is quietly effective,
and his easygoing dialogue among the
supporting cast provides a naturalistic
feel to this tale of paradoxes
and cross-temporal love."
-- Asimov's Science Fiction magazine

Joe is a misfit, displaced in time, trying to come to terms with a world very different from the one he knew.
A world that is comparatively primitive, and yet more vital.
For the most part, Any Time Now is set just a moment into the future. It sticks to the premise that there is only one world, one chance at life, and this is it.
It is about whether Kate can come to terms with her situation. Whether Joe has made the right choices. Whether these two people can help each other
as their lives spin out of control.
