Welcome...
Teachers and Librarians
Hi, teachers, librarians, writing circles and reading groups. That's covered everyone I think. I have a schools page on my website, but I thought I would tell you a little about what I do.
I really enjoy running school workshops and I start with a quiz; this is in the shape of cards with titles on. I hold them up for the children to give me quick-fire answers (this is to break the ice and let the pupils get to know me). I use prop's and mime to make up a story, which the pupils set the characters and plot. I also love doing author talks in assemblies, with a few hundred children. I am very animated and involve everyone in the audience. Not all children like to read, but after seeing me role-play my adventures on stage - even the most reluctant of reader will join in and have fun.
My books are filled with fast-paced excitement, impossible situations and danger that only a super-hero can escape. If you want to know more, go to the Schools Page and check out the pics and info. My books are on the ...wait for it! Books Page.
Adult readers groups and writing circles: I craft my talks so that audiences will enjoy, no matter what age.
Email me through my Contact Page for info on my fee. Thank you.
Readers Comments:
The Curious World of Shelley Vendor was a really interesting and exciting book. My favourite part was finding out Shelley's secret. My favourite character's are the Plogs, because they're really exciting to read about. I read the book in two day's and could not put it down. I bought a signed copy from Waterstones in Camarthen where Colin was signing and I can't wait for 'The Curious World of Katie Hinge' to come out. Aimee Tunstall Camarthen West Wales April 23rd 2011.
Having read Crank Tech One, Destruction written by the same author ( which is a great read) I always wondered where Crank came from, what's he been up to before he became crank. This is a short prequal which starts to fill in those blanks. As the old saying goes "you can't judge a book by its cover " which must admit I really like the cover of this book. I went through this in about 40 minutes, but what a great 40 minutes it was. It's very well written almost impossible to put down, and it gave me a glimpse in to the other, shall we say talents this Robot has.
Knew this was a short story, and was willing it go beyond where it ended. Colin R Parsons has a talent for leaving you wanting more. And I want to know more about IU-137. Great read for all ages male or female,Well done Mr Parsons. Well done indeed.A Brooks (a fan)
