For his Bodyguard series, he embarked on an intensive close-protection course to become a qualified professional bodyguard.And for the Soul Prophecy trilogy, Chris travelled extensively to experience first-hand the cultures featured in the story - from living with the Shona people in Zimbabwe, to trekking the Inca trail, to meditating in a Buddhist temple amid the mountains of Japan. His bestselling books are published in over twenty-five languages and have garnered more than thirty-five children's book awards and nominations.
