Chris and her son John, who was diagnosed with Autism at the age of three, live in the Pacific Northwest. After a twenty year career exploring ways to help John live life to the fullest with Autism, Chris decided to take a cross-country adventure and invited John to go with her. These days as part of that adventure, one can find Chris and John trail-running on a mountain top somewhere, or hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. In their spare time, they have joined forces with Chris's writing and John's illustrating, to write a story or two.
