Person
Chris Shaw was born in 1939 in Felixstowe, Suffolk, UK. He lived there with his mother during the war years, with occasional periods of respite from the bombs and doodlebugs on his grandparents' farm in Longham village in central Norfolk. He is a prize-winning writer, and his stories have also been featured in The Weekend Australian.
Chris was educated at Framlingham College, qualified as a pharmacist and spent three years in London, then seven years in the Caribbean, travelling as a medical representative through the British-based islands.
With his family, he emigrated to Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia, in 1973, working as a retail pharmacist until he retired in 2009. He owned two pharmacies.
In 1991, he married his beloved Rebecca at Trinity Beach, and they have never had a cross word.
