The Songwriter
Take a look at my book promo
Praise for The Songwriter:
"Against a backdrop of jazz and prohibition, a cast of performers and glamorous aristos weave their way through these paranoid, war-stricken times. Colin, who once lived in New York herself, retraces the era with consummate period detail and beautifully flowing prose."
Praise for The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite:
"The storytelling is masterful and the language magical. "
"Absorbing.. Deftly captur[es] the era’s sense of frenzied invention and seductive promise"
" ...this absorbing read is both well researched and plushly written"
"... bold, solid and clever "
"(An) exceptional novel..."
"glittering, compelling... recalls Muriel Spark at her sharpest "
