The 2008 WSFA Small Press Award, presented at Capclave, went to both Chris as editor and to Tom Doyle for Tom's story, "The Wizard of Macatawa" in Paradox #11. Stories appearing in the biannual magazine have twice been finalists for the Sidewise Award for Alternate History (Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff's "O, Pioneer" and Andrew Tisbert's "The Meteor of War"), have appeared on several reviewers' Best-of-Year lists, and have garnered dozens of honorable mentions in Best-of-Year anthologies.

Nearing completion of his first novel, Chris writes in Brooklyn, NY, where he lives with his wife Megan, his son Harrison, and a puffer fish named Spiny Norman.
