Author Bio

Colin Lawson lives near the North East coast of England with his long-suffering and ever-patient wife and kids.

In the past he’s written fiction and non-fiction pieces for local and national publications, including newspapers and magazines.

Colin’s long and eclectic work history has seen him turn his hand to working as an entrepreneur, chef, computer technician, web designer and has even included over a decade working in the funeral business which gives him the ‘inside scoop’ when writing in his favourite genre of supernatural-mystery, sometimes edging onto the horror side of things. There’s even an occasional sprinkle of humour added for good measure.
