Chip Smith lives in Memphis, Tennessee with his wife of 56 years. He has written 24 novels, eight of which are mystery and romance tales set in England from the Victorian Era through World War II and into the contemporary era. The ninth is a Christian Historical Fiction novel set in the first century. In his retirement, Chip has become a landscape artist, sculptor and author. An avid reader himself, he hopes his books will transport the reader to other times and places, while creating mysteries they don't ever want to put down.
