Nathan Christopher is a former child and aspiring adult who enjoys spreadsheets and-perhaps more useful to his writing aspirations-making people laugh. He pens his stories (and his letters to Santa) in Windsor, Canada, where he lives with his wife and children-who ensure endless material and a conveniently sleepless schedule for writing.
