Chris Phipps lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills of northern California. She says she didn’t really retire from her job in the corporate world—she just switched professions. She likes the new job better. She started it by researching and writing a family history, and wrote several short stories. One, “Me and Grandpa” was published in the Saturday Evening Post’s online 2015 short story anthology. She has written four mystery novels in the Wagner & Callender series and is currently working on a book with different characters.
