A Very English Affair

Chris J Mitchell, was born and raised in London. Since he was young he has had a passion for writing and at school greatly enjoyed writing fictional stories of mystery, intrigue and action. In his childhood he met with a serious accident at the age of about eight and because of this he developed agoraphobia. He struggled with this for most of his teenage years but he eventually overcome this phobia. This experience affected his view on writing and how emotions, human behaviour and habits greatly affect and alter logical and rational situations.

He has a keen interest in movies and literature and enjoys books and stories with intrigue, mystery and the unknown. 

He specifically enjoys ghost stories and his fictional writing has been influenced by classic ghost stories from the Victorian era. He has written several ghost stories in classic Victorian style that have been well received.
