About Turtles Don’t Climb Stairs:

Turtles Don't Climb Stairs is a children's book that follows Tony The Turtle as he explores worlds outside his own experiences. Tony finds himself in trouble and helps himself reach safety with some help from his friend, and gains newfound resolve to overcome his limitations. Art by Laura Bolsover.

About the Author:

Chris was born in Tucson, AZ and soon after relocated, to Upstate New York, where he lived through high school. An enthusiastic runner lettering in cross-country, he moved to Boston for college, eventually running the Boston Marathon twice.

Still in Boston, he lives with his longtime girlfriend DJ. The avid Celtics fan that he is takes pleasure in their every triumph. 

Chris’ career has spanned many years in Healthcare and Data Analytics Technology, helping to make healthcare better and safer for our families and our future.

A science-fiction enthusiast, Chris has dabbled in that genre, with a published collection of short stories to his name and the Dark Water trilogy nearing completion.

Back when they moved to Upstate in the early Sixties, and while buried under what seemed like the highest average snowfall on the planet, Chris’ dad entertained him by telling him stories before bed.

The oldest, the original, was the adventure of Tony The Turtle, the inspiration for Turtles Don’t Climb Stairs. Told when Chris was five, it remained within him ever since.

Until now.
