A welcome message from Stephen
Hello and welcome. Stephen Collier is crime fiction writer for page and screen. This site provides information about his books. You will also be able to ask questions about the art of writing crime fiction and police procedure, for those budding crime fiction writers out there. Please sign up below to get extra access to lots of other information, via my newsletter – ‘The Old Coppers Pocketbook’. I’ve recently started a podcast – Old Coppers Podcast‘ – which you can sign up to on my YouTube channel Five-2-Eight Media. I occasionally take part in events and there will be information about these, book readings and much more. Don’t forget to drop by occasionally.
Please also take the time to sign up for my Newsletter using the form at the bottom of the page.
I’m looking forward to the next year to grow my audience/community, now that I can dedicate more time to what I love best. Writing, videography and ‘podcastery.’ The last few years have been difficult for us Indie authors, hopefully 2024 will be a better year.
Happy Reading.
