Wikepedia entry for Chris Bell (Author), viewed August 10, 2016 (Chris Bell was born Holyhead, North Wales in 1960. After working in the UK and Germany variously as a writer for and editor of a music magazine, musician, record company runner and song lyricist, in 1996 Bell published The Bumper Book of Lies, a collection of short stories, (...) Bell's first novel Liquidambar (2003), a surreal take on film noir and 1940s pulp thrillers inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper, won the 2004 UKA Press international Search for a Great Read competition. In 2005 Bell edited the 'celebratory booklet' published to coincide with the Russell Hoban Some-Poasyum, an international convention celebrating the novelist's 80th birthday. The booklet included contributions from a number of Hoban enthusiasts and collaborators including Glenda Jackson, Andrew Davies and Sir Harrison Birtwistle. Bell now lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand.)
