Welcome...

Hi and welcome to my website. My name is Chris Fairthorne and I am the author of The Price of Freedom. My hope is this web site will provide a platform for me to show case my work and to provide direct communications with my readers. This is an exciting time for me with the publication this year of my novel and my second novel Vinegar and Brown Paper nearing completion.For me writing is a joy laced with an uncontrollable string of story lines that once they are in my head refuse to leave until set on paper. .
