About the author

Colin’s passion for writing started as a child in Singapore. When at the age of seven his school essay on the field study of Fire Ants received the award for best story and most improved handwriting. ”I strutted around my school as if I had won the Nobel Prize in Literature as opposed to a hand writing competition” he has said. "It really was a pivotal moment for me, having my work recognised at such a young age had such a big impact, from then on I recorded field notes on all the interesting adventures I had with my brother and read every book I could get my hands on.”

He continued his writing in the Royal Navy and Police and as a Detective Sergeant in 1998 co-wrote the first police training manual for the investigation of criminal cases for Surrey CID officers followed by three other CID training manuals on the investigation of serious crime and homicide and was a awarded a prestigious Chief Constables Commendation for his achievements.

In 2004 Colin received his first paid commission from BP to write a training a manual for the investigation of major incidents and serious injuries. This was followed by several other paid commissions within the shipping and logistic industries, Colin has said ”It wasn’t until 2010 that I actually thought of myself as a writer, by then I was running my own Blog and drafting all sorts of articles on the investigation of crimes against animals and often received emails from journalists asking for contributions to features and news items.”

In 2014 Colin wrote his first book ‘The Owner’s Handbook on Preventing Dog Theft’ and in 2016 his work was spotted by a commissioning editor working for Little Brown Books. Six months later extracts from Colin's second book MOLLY & ME took the London Book Fair by storm resulting in 13 publishing contracts with 11 translations.

MOLLY & ME will be published in the UK on 2nd May 2019 by Michael Joseph an imprint of Penguin Random House.
