My name is Chris Wood and I have been a full-time journalist, mainly in magazines, for thirty years. My byline, which is now my web address (bychriswood.com), has appeared on thousands of stories, articles and reports in national and regional media, including Maclean's, the CBC, The Globe and Mail, and most recently, The Tyee, The Walrus and Reader’s Digest Canada. Reviewers have called my new book, Dry Spring: The Coming Water Crisis of North America, “arresting”, “vivid”, “provocative”, and, “a great read”. It is available in the United States from Publishers Group West and in Canada from Raincoast Books (ISBN: 978-1-55192-814-2, retail purchases online from Amazon.com.) I am the author of six other books, including an award-winning Young Adult Fiction series with my wife, Beverley Wood. Current titles in the Sirius Mysteries are: DogStar, Jack's Knife and The Golden Boy. My last book on public issues, Blockbusters and Trade Wars, with Peter S. Grant (Douglas & McIntyre), was short-listed for the Donner Prize for best Canadian policy book (2005). I was born in Ontario, Canada. I’ve lived in four provinces and reported from ten, as well as from a dozen countries and most of the United States. I live now just offshore North America on Vancouver Island, and dedicate as much time as I can to the true stories that will make us or break us in the next quarter-century.
