                                                              ...to author and therapy consultant Chris Crutcher's website.  You'll find all the latest, authorized information on the award winning writer and his work here.  If there is a new book release, a special event, a unique opportunity, you'll read about it here first. 

                                                              If you'd like to write to Chris directly, he prefers email.  So write to him at Stotan717@gmail.com.  He'll respond to your email as soon as possible.  If you write to him care of HarperCollins, his publisher, it can take weeks if not months to process that mail and get it to his home address, so write to him here if possible.

                                                              If you'd like to book Chris as a speaker at a school, library conference or other public event, be sure to contact his assistant, Kelly Halls at KellyMilnerH@aol.com.  Kelly coordinates his calendar and all of his bookings.  She's also glad to provide teaching and reading guides for Chris's books as PDF attachments, whenever they are available (and there is a pretty robust collection on file).

                                                              Have a picture of Chris you'd like to see on his website?  Send that to Kelly, too.  She maintains his website and makes all updates -- with his approval, of course.   Suggestions or complaints?  Send those to Kelly too.  She'll do her best to make things right for you.
