Chris Smith found his gift of writing in the second grade when he was asked to create his own fairytale. Since then, when he wasn’t with his friends, Chris would escape by creating stories and playing in this world that he named "Bonvida." He is the fourth out of five children, works at a private Catholic school, helps run a youth group at a local parish, and is a member of the Catholic Writers Guild.
Today, Chris lives with his family and black lab in the small rural town in Ontario.
