About Me
- Chris McMahen
- Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada
- When not wandering about, hopelessly lost, I live in British Columbia’s Spallumcheen Valley, only a short bike ride away from the small city of Armstrong. I am proud to be the self-proclaimed holder of the title, “Worst Ex-recreational Hockey Player in Canada.” I used my many years of on-ice futility as primary research for my 2007 novel Klutzhood (http://www.orcabook.com). I have also spun a lifelong fascination with tabloid newspapers into a novel for young readers–Tabloidology (http://www.orcabook.com). My first novel, published in 1996, was the cult classic Buddy Concrackle’s Amazing Adventure (Coteau Books), although I’m not exactly sure which cult thinks it’s a classic. Published in the Fall of 2011 is my fourth novel, Box of Shocks. When I’m not huddled over a keyboard or pad of paper writing, I can often be found in one of many places. I may be cycling the back roads or trails of the Spallumcheen Valley, lost somewhere on a ski trail, or in an elementary school in Armstrong where I work as a teacher-librarian and classroom teacher.

ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Megan, Cameron & Aaron. I hope you're having a good year. Highland Park also misses you! I hope you get a chance to read my new book.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. McMahen,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Merrill Taylor and I represent one of the Elgin County Libraries that you will be visiting. I was looking over some of the suggestions that you would might like to highlight during your visit and funny you mentioned geocaching because we showcased a program in March about geocaching. We had about about 20 guests walk around Aylmer finding 3 local caches. It was a wet day but fun. Looking forward to meeting you and enjoy your travel.
