Chris Macdonald writes stories about going on adventures, stories inspired by his own experiences in some of our planet’s harshest environments, whether traversing glaciers in Iceland, trekking across Australian deserts, or interacting with wild orangutans in the jungles of Borneo. He also enjoys time at home in Australia, occasionally helping his mother move heavy things around, and being in the gym moving other heavy things around. Chris sincerely hopes you and your family will enjoy his debut book.
