About me:
I am the author of the Wizards' Kingdom trilogy and my new novel, The Curious World of Shelley Vendor series. Check out my website and find out a lot more about me. www.colinrparsons.com
.........................................................
My first three books are self published with Athena Press and have sold in the region of 7,000 copies. I have just signed a traditional publishing deal with: North Staffordshire Press! A fantastic publishing house from Stoke-On-Trent. The Editor and Director is Malcolm Henson and we already have a close writer/publisher relationship. He will be publishing my new book: The Curious World of Shelley Vendor.' A truly exciting, new fantasy adventure. This is a two part series and hopfully NSP will be producing the second in the series too.
..........................................................
My books are available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and can be bought or ordered in Waterstones and Borders.
'Wizards' Kingdom, is a story which begs to be read by the crackle and comfort of firelight. Fans of J RR Tolkien will feel instantly at home in rolling valleys, deep mines and amongst the legendary creatures. Colin R. Parsons invites young readers to begin a journey through his fantasy series with the relish of a skilful storyteller familiar with all things wonderfully Hobbiton.' Reviewed by John Lloyd Waterstones Bath..........................................
I am also looking for an agent so if you are interested please contact me.
.......................................................
I am married to Janice and have two children Kristoffer and Ryan. I live in Wales in the UK and am passionate about writing.

Who I'd like to meet:
Philip Ardagh is a great comedy author and his books in the Unlikely Exploits series are fab. I also love Kenneth Oppel, Airborn, Skybreaker and Star Climber. Angie Sage of Magyk and Flyte fame is also fantastic and a reader of my work has compared my writing to her's, which overwhelmed me. Kevin Spacey the actor and Patrick Stewart of Star Trek next generation fame would be wonderful wizards in my Wizards' Kingdom series. I am also a big Formula One fan and it's a great distraction from writing so I would really love to meet Michael Schumacher.
