Thanks for stopping by. My name is Chris Towndrow. I’m a multi-genre author and a playwright.

My historical romance “Signs of Life” – a reflective Western – was published on 4.4.2023 through my imprint Valericain Press.
“Tow Away Zone” is a quirky romantic comedy that appeals to a wide audience. 5* reviews on Amazon bear this out :
“A gripping yarn – quirky characters, a pacy plot and a setting like you’ve never read before. A fun ol’ read.”
– Paul Kerensa, Comedian & British Comedy Award-winning TV writer
In 2020 I published the sequel “Go Away Zone“. The trilogy concluded in 2021 with cozy mystery Stow Away Zone.
Before this, I’d primarily written sci-fi novels. The Enna Dacourt pentalogy of near-future adventures was completed in 2023. The previous standalone work, “Sacred Ground“, published in 2012, is a space opera set in the far future after an intergalactic war. The subsequent book broadly within the sci-fi genre was 2023’s post-apocalyptic drama. It was the development of an original idea for a one-room theatrical drama, and was my first script set solely in the UK.
In the early 2000s I experienced a burst of Woody Allen-esque inspiration for crazy humour, and the result was a compendium of offbeat comedy shorts – “Igbad’s Rollerblading Stunts and other stories”.
In terms of projects in the pipeline, in query is a British romantic comedy and 2023 will start a period of romcom and contemporary romance scripts.
As a playwright I’ve had a handful of well-received scripts performed to an audience of over 5000. Scripts are available to license.
