L'autore:
Christopher Foster was born in London in 1932, son of a veteran British journalist. He wrote his first story at the age of 7 while bombs were falling all around the London apartment where he and his mother lived in the early days of WW11 while his Dad was overseas as a war correspondent. Foster is the author of five books including an inspirational fable, The Raven Who Spoke with God, self-published on 9/11 and later translated into 11 foreign language editions. An only child, he told his parents firmly at lunch one day that his goal in life was to find the true meaning of existence. It led to a fierce argument with his Dad who ended up slapping the young dreamer angrily across the face. Christopher followed in his father’s footsteps as a reporter, working on newspapers and magazines in London, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), New Zealand, and Canada, but he followed in his own footsteps in his search for meaning and truth. It was a quest that took him to British Columbia, where he worked as a reporter on the Daily Colonist in Victoria and later met a British nobleman who became his spiritual mentor and changed his life. Lord Martin Cecil -- a descendant of Lord Burghley, chief adviser to Queen Elizabeth I -- had resigned his commission in the Royal Navy to manage his father’s cattle ranch in British Columbia. For 36 years, Christopher was a member of a spiritual community Lord Martin had established in the interior of BC. He thought it would be his home forever, but the community collapsed after the death of its leader and at the age of 63, with virtually no material resources, Foster had no choice but to return to the world he had abandoned in his youth. It was a brutal transition but paradoxically it opened a door to freedom and a new, increasingly happy and fulfilling life. Christopher lives with his wife JoAnn in Denver. He has one son in Vancouver. He started his blog, The Happy Seeker, in 2009. Visit him at www.thehappyseeker.com.
