William Coles
I am a journalist; and a writer of love stories.
I am currently embroiled in an epic series of love stories, which, with luck, will comprise at least 12 novels. Two of these novels are already out - The Well-Tempered Clavier and The Woman Who Made Men Cry - with another two due to be published by Thames River Press later this year. The next one in the series will be The Woman Who Knew What She Wanted, out in May.
The premise of these love stories is quite simple. The hero, or perhaps anti-hero, is a journalist called Kim. He is a man in his mid-forties, who is looking back at the various loves of his life. Each of his past loves has her own bitter-sweet tale - for, like all stand-out love affairs, they have a very great tendency to turn out badly.
I've been a journalist for over 20 years, including stints as the New York Correspondent and Political Correspondent of The Sun. I've also written for The Wall Street Journal, the Daily Mail, the Express, The Mirror and the Scotsman.
For the past five years, I've been an editorial consultant with a number of newspaper groups including Media 24 in South Africa and DC Thomson in Scotland. This media coaching has formed the basis for my first non-fiction book, "Red Top", which is also due out later this year.
Apart from the love-stories, I have written two other mainstream novels - 'Lord Lucan: My Story' (2009) and 'Mr Two-Bomb' (2010), as well as two satires, 'Dave Cameron's Schooldays' (2010) and 'Simon Cowell: The Sex Factor' (2011).
