More About the Author

Born in north London, Colin worked for many years in TV and radio and freelanced for many of Australia's leading newspapers and magazines. He has been a novelist for the last twenty years, with his work published widely in the UK, US and Europe. His books have been translated into seventeen languages.

He travels regularly to research his novels and his quest for authenticity led him to run with the bulls in Pamplona, pursue tornadoes across Oklahoma and black witches across Mexico, go cage shark diving in South Africa and get tear gassed in a riot in La Paz. He also completed a nine hundred kilometre walk of the camino in Spain.

He lived for many years near Margaret River in WA, helped raise two beautiful daughters with his late wife, Helen. While writing, he also worked for many years in the volunteer ambulance service. "I'd be at my desk typing, then thirty minutes later I'd be crawling into an overturned car."

He met Diana in an airport bookshop in Melbourne - he was in New Fiction. They didn't actually meet in person until three years later.

"My career had stalled when we met. She inspired me to start writing again. I'm a very lucky guy."

WHEN WE WERE GODS has now been re-released as an e-book, and his new novel SILK ROAD, is to be published in the UK and Australia in October by Corvus Atlantic. (less)
