About Chris
Chris Doty holds a PhD in linguistics and spends too much time thinking about the intersections of language, linguistics, and storytelling. When not crafting fiction or working as a writer and communications professional, he can be found attempting to learn yet another language or playing board games. He lives just outside Boston, MA with his fiancé and their two doodles, Weland and Waffles.
