Chris Morton's debut novel, English Slacker, was short-listed for a Guardian award in 2011. His short stories, Hungry and Homeless and The Note were both nominated for Authortrek's international awards, and his horror short, Another Ghostly Figure was published in 2012 as part of the charity anthology, Fear. He is the editor of the 2013 chick-lit novel, How Do You Spell Love? and of the comedy, The Night Shift. In 2017, Morton entered a new genre with the release of the slacker-lit/sci-fi crossover novella, The Caravan and the time travelling Paradox series. He followed this with the short story collection Adventures in Sci-fi and the science fiction novel Hard-boiled Wonderland, both released in 2019.
