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."

The List

Praise for The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite:

"The storytelling is masterful and the language magical. "

The New York Times

" ...this absorbing read is both well researched and plushly written"

The Guardian

"... bold, solid and clever "

The Herald

"(An) exceptional novel..."
