“Studying history and literature has benefited my fiction writing
no end. Especially from a research point of view” he says. “My
time at Hope was amongst the most rewarding and happiest of my life.”
Chris completed his MA in 2006 at Liverpool John Moores University and
is now a regular contributor to many magazines, including The
Radio Times, Writing Magazine and Writers'
News, as well as offering a promotional
service for authors and other artists. “There are opportunities
opening up that just would not have materialised were it not for the M.A.
|
|
|
|
I
am confident that a book with my name on will be out there in the not
too distant future.” Chris is engaged to his beautiful partner, Helen,
without whose patience, support and love he would have achieved little.
It is to her and to the memory of his late mother and father, Louise &
Pat, that this site is dedicated.

So,
you may be asking, why the title of 'Untrained Melodies'?
Well the 'Untrained' I got from Chris de Burgh's hit song Spanish Train
and, as I've played around with the content a little of all the songs that
I've chosen here as inspiration, Untrained seemed to fit ideally. As for
the
'Melodies', I've tried to be as rhythmic
as
possible in the writing of the Tales, so as to mirror the natural
tempo of the original melodies. |
|
|
This despite the fact that the Tales are derived from, rather than
based upon, the original songs themselves. I have tried to bring my personal
interpretation to Chris de Burgh's work and I hope that you - his fans -
will be as pleased with the results as I am. |
