Plague

C.C. (Chris) Humphreys born in Toronto, raised in London is an actor, playwright, fight choreographer and novelist.

My first job out of school was as a motorcycle messenger, based in St Giles, where much ofPlaguetakes place. A ghastly slum in 1665, thousands died horribly there in the Great Plague. I think many Londoners have a deep-buried memory of the devastating things that have happened to their city. Walking those streets again, its not hard to sense the bones just below the paving stones.

Chris has written nine historical fiction novels includingThe French Executioner, the Jack Absolute Series,VladandShakespeares Rebel. His latest,Plague, is a thriller set in London 1665.Firewill follow. He is translated into thirteen languages.
