I am mainly a fiction writer, whose topics include, being human, competitive swimming, aviation, and domestic relationships.
Critically Acclaimed:
Enid Shomer, on awarding the FLAA award: "Chris McClelland's fiction is oftentimes sad but hopeful"
Conor Hilton, critic for Association of Mormon Letters, reviewing Under Old Glory (Young Adult): Under Old Glory is at its best when it allows for quite complex and nuanced emotions to shine through...to the novella's credit, the questions that plague Hyrum are not dismissed out of hand, but are presented as legitimate questions to have and to ponder"
Joe David Bellamy, Editors' Book Award Winner, on McClelland's short fiction: the journey is always insightful, surprising, and deeply felt, and the reader always knows he is in good hands with Chris McClelland
EM, Amazon reader, on Swimming Among the Olympians: meaningful glimpse into people's lives, I enjoyed this book very much. Heartfelt.
Evan Lavender Smith, award-winning author of Avatar and From Old Notebooks: His stories are inflected with a tender and compassionate sensibility. Readers looking for fiction's quieter, subtler pleasures would do well to look here.
