edit data

Chris Winder is a United States Marine Corps veteran who spent nearly half his eight years training other Marines in the fine art of field wire and switchboard operation.

Each class was dosed with a big helping of humor, which he learned is the key to helping people absorb and remember information. Therefore, Chris tries to sneak some humor into every book he writes.

His first novel, Cloud Development, is a technothriller revolving around a ten-year-old boy, his parents and the corporation his father works for. For years, LumoTech has been trying to unlock a dangerous secret and when their research targets the little boy as the key, his parents aren't given much of a choice.

Chris lives in a small town in northern Arizona with his wife and son ...more

Sometimes, something as simple as taking a walk, listening to some music, or remembering to eat will fix it.

I tend to get stuck on other things, and I've learned something about myself. I might fret, pout, or stomp around the house, but I always solve the problem I'm working on. So, I've learned to be patient and quit beating myself up about it. No matter what, it'll work itself out.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

I get to make something that nobody else has ever seen before. When people read it -- and especially when they tell me they enjoyed it -- I know I've added something special to the universe. I've added a few minutes, or a few weeks, of enjoyment to someone's life.

For me, writing is like prospecting (which I also enjoy). I enjoy prospecting because I get to dig up what's been in the ground for a long, long time. By bringing it to the surface, panning it, getting rid of the worthless material, I get to add value where none existed before.

Writing is like that.(less)

手間のかかるお手伝い

　私は二児の父親をしています。昔から子どもに関わる仕事をしているので、子育てや教育については自身があったつもりです。３歳の長男は何でもかんでもとりあえずやってみたいお年頃です。パパやママが何か作業していると「何しているの？」「お手伝いしてあげよっか？」とすぐ自分用の台を持って近づいてきます。実際やってみて、興味がなければすぐ飽きてどっか行っちゃいますが、興味のあることならずっと集中して作業しています。こどもにとって、小さい頃からいろいろな事に興味を持って挑戦して、その中で小さい成功体験を積み上げていくことが大切なんじゃないかと思っています。なので、私も妻も子どもが興味を示すことはとりあえずやらしてあげようと心がけています。
　最近は料理にすごく興味がって、私が台所に立っていると「僕もお手伝いしてあげるね」と言って作業台を私の横において二人で台所に立っています。お手伝いしてくれることや、料理に
