About Christopher Moore

Christopher Moore is a literary mischief-maker, delighting readers with his signature blend of satire, absurdity, and heart. With a career spanning over three decades, he's the mind behind cult classics like Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, Practical Demonkeeping, and A Dirty Job. Moore's novels often straddle the line between the sacred and the profane, delivering laugh-out-loud moments alongside surprisingly profound insights.

When he's not writing, Moore splits his time between exploring quirky small towns and tormenting his social media followers with puns.
