Christopher J Minchin

Christopher J. Minchin was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and grew up in the Wellington region before settling in Tauranga. His life has been defined by global transit and a deep connection to the natural world. A former airline pilot, Chris's career spanned the globe, flying in regions ranging from New Zealand to the Middle East.

An experienced mariner, he has sailed the entire expanse of the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans, a journey documented in his first book. He now brings his unique perspective on adventure, international relations, and the weight of consequential decisions to his debut novel, Lines of Conscience. His writing is informed by decades of navigating both the physical world and the complex moral landscapes encountered during his travels.
