About the Author
Christopher Slaney was born and raised in the
English Midlands. He attended University College London, where he attained a degree in Geography, before going on to study
Marine Surveying. He is married, has three adult
children and has lived most of the last 40 years in
Israel. Much of Christopher’s working life was spent in the media, working as a news cameraman before taking on roles in TV production and journalism, where he spent time covering conflicts and momentous
events around the world. In his
work, he has watched Nelson Mandela walk out of prison as a free man, witnessed armed conflict in a dozen countries and reported from the Vatican. Apart from his wife, sailing has been Christopher’s great love and as soon as their
children were living independently, they spent more and more time on the sea, relishing its vast open spaces and freedom and sailing across the Atlantic three times. Now he is using his experiences, turning his attention to writing and has just completed his first book, Age of Sail. In his free time, apart from setting sail as often as he can, Christopher loves running, being outdoors, art and
music. He is also dedicated to environmental issues and is involved with an international foundation which promotes environmental studies in schools. His wish for the future is that his grandchildren will enjoy a safer, greener and sustainable future. You can follow Christopher Slaney or contact him at: Facebook – Age Of Sail Website –
