https://www.chriskellplays.com/dark-place Christopher Kell lives in South West England. He has enjoyed writing short stories for most of his adult life and has seen them published in the US and the UK. His writing genres are a mix of sci-fi and contemporary. In recent years, he has committed to expanding his writing, resulting in the dystopian novelette “Dark Place”.
His first published story was “Larrs’ Ghost” about a scientist who enters his computer-generated world and won’t return. This was written at a time when Kell was teaching students about an amazing new technology called the ‘microprocessor’ (yes, he really was around then, he simply time-travelled from that era to now) and it was before the term ‘virtual reality’ became widely known. The story was published in 1980 in a computing magazine! Re-published in the US and now included in “Mrs. Dunkley’s War Letters - and other short stories.”
He was also published in Astronomy & Space edited by renowned astronomer Sir Patrick Moore.
His other writing strands have included stage plays (winning writing and production awards) and nonfiction such as textbooks and technical articles in various magazines.
