About the Author

Colin’s journey into his unique style of storytelling officially began in August 2015, with the publication of his first crime thriller “Things Will Never Be the Same Again”. The first book of series one – of which there are five instalments, heralded the introduction of fictional Peak District Detective John Gammon as a new name into rural crime fighting and police investigation.

With a very distinct writing style, from the outset, each narrative of the John Gammon detective series places you inside the nuances of daily life in the social and professional circles of the main protagonist. Alongside the underlying crime plot in each novel, the detailed menu choices for Gammon when dining out, the drives he takes in such a scenic setting and the friends he surrounds himself with all combine for unique and very addictive storytelling. Currently, there are 4 completed series featuring John Gammon Peak District Detective, all of which contain five books.

Many authors and readers have quite rightly commented on how prolific Colin is with his writing, which is proven through an Amazon bookshelf featuring 49 books published in just over 6 years. Alongside the 27 books featuring John Gammon, Colin has spanned a range of subject matter including a wartime love story with “Let’s Dance In The Kitchen” (which went into Amazon’s top 50 of its genre), the spiritual world with the trilogy of “Looking for Shona”, “The Hurt of Yochana” and “Grove”, and also the 2-part series “Calming Farm” and “I am Fawn Jones”. The IRA was an underlying presence in “Scarab Falls”, whilst time travel was the subject of “The Stanton Incident”. The stand-alone thrillers of “Innocence and Guilt”, “Rose Petals From Russia” and “The Stunner Trilogy” and Five Knocks on a Door complete the author’s catalogue so far.
