About
Chip Smith
In a nutshell, my novels are a mixture of my favorite types of literature, beginning with Cozy stories. Of the twenty-four novels to date, many fall within that genre, though with some twists and turns. Whenever possible, I incorporate true historical situations and themes. Many begin in the picturesque Cotswolds, though by the end the main characters often find themselves in other countries engaged in solving mysteries or completing assignments for the British government or royal families. On the other hand, a few of my novels are certainly in the historical thriller category, with spies and devious plots. The timeframe for my novels falls between the Victorian Era and the contemporary. The two world wars often provide a backdrop for my stories. There are one or two outliers. One is a first century Christian historical fiction novel. Another features many of my family members in a historical fiction thriller. In the end, I hope that in each case, my readers will find my characters relatable, the stories clean, exciting and engaging. I love it when reviewers tell me they just couldn’t put the book down.
