Christian D. Stevens was born in Great Falls, Montana. He grew up in a writing family. His father was a newspaperman; his mother wrote fiction stories. Through their encouragement, he sold his first fiction story at sixteen. He worked on Montana newspapers and graduated from the College of Great Falls, where he later taught English.
Christian Stevens vagabonded through Mexico at seventeen and Europe at twenty. He served with the United States Army in Germany, conducted post-graduate studies at Edinburgh University, Scotland, and lived in Europe as a University of Maryland lecturer, free-lancer and newsman. He married Nuala Walsh of Dublin, sister of his closest friend, world traveler Michael Walsh. He has sung a ballad atop a Mexican pyramid, raided Blarney Castle on Hallowe'en, and swapped ghost stories with Highland crofters.
He and his wife lived in Great Falls with their six children, whom he described as "critics disguised as leprechauns."
