I'm Chris Howard. I write fantasy and SF books and short stories--but I am a writer who also paints. I work in watercolors, ink, charcoal, oils, and digital.

I have pen and ink illustration in issue 10 of Shimmer. My first novel SEABORN came out July 2008 from Juno Books. My fiction has appeared in various places--latest is "Lost Dogs and Fireplace Archaeology" in Fantasy Magazine. I won the Heinlein Centennial Short Fiction Contest (amateur division) in 2007.
