Chrissie Walsh is a bestselling sagas fiction author from West Yorkshire that is best known for the “Weaver Street” series of novels.

Before she became an author she use to be a schoolteacher with a passion for history. During her career working as a teacher, she rose through the ranks to become the deputy principal at the Tyrella-based St Joseph Primary School.
Throughout her life, she always dreamed of one day making it as a published author but she was just too busy to ever start. It was when she retired that she finally found the motivation, energy, and time to begin writing.
Chrissie made use of her early life memories living in Yorkshire to write her stories and come up with themes that would make it into her bestselling novels.

She was lucky enough to find an agent who secured her a four-book deal. She made her debut with the publishing of the single-standing novel “The Girl from the Mill.” She has since then penned many successful sagas.

Walsh usually uses a well-rehearsed routine when she is writing her novels. She will usually take a walk during the day to collect her thoughts and get some ideas.
She will then putter around her garden and then begin writing late in the evening at 10 pm until 2 am since this is the time she is usually most productive.

Using that routine, she has been able to write some blockbuster fiction works and has at some point been number one on the Google Books military history fiction works.
Her novels are also available globally on platforms such as Audible and have also been translated into other languages such as Spanish, Polish, German, and Dutch.
They have also sold well in Yorkshire in northern England, Northern Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

When Chrissie is not writing her novels, she can usually be found reading novels from the likes of County Clare-based Niall Williams.
While she has achieved her wildest dreams she hopes that she can one day get some of her novels made into a TV series.
