ⓘ About Rod Collins

Often using rural America as his setting and canvas, Rod Collins is an expert in ambiance and atmosphere, as really evokes a specific time and place. This then draws the reader in, while not alienating anyone, making it easily accessible, allowing them to envelop themselves within it. His stories are well paced too, keeping a strong momentum running throughout, setting it apart as something unique and different. There’s plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader constantly guessing as well, really holding their attention with a compelling narrative. The characters are another aspect that Collins excels at, feeling fully three-dimensional and really in a wholly authentic manner.
