Huw Collingbourne is a writer, programming instructor and software developer. He is the author of a number of fiction and factual books. His novels include the Kill Job series (gritty 1960s Cold War and crime) The Exodus Plague post-apocalyptic thrillers and The 1980s Murder Mysteries (crime capers).

In the 1980s Huw was a pop music journalist and he interviewed many of the 'New Romantic' stars such as Boy George, Adam Ant, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Depeche Mode. In the 1990s he published the 'adult humour' magazine, 18 Rated, which was immediately banned by all leading UK newsagents (who obviously failed to see the joke).

Huw's programming books including The Little Book Of C, The Little Book Of Pointers, The Little Book of Recursion, ...more
