Colin Rowland is the brother of Jann Rowland, a well-known author in the realm of transformative works centered around Pride and Prejudice. Colin’s interest in the works of Jane Austen began with advice from Jann to read Pride and Prejudice. After having done so, Colin felt inspired by Austen’s work, and he now spends his free time penning manuscripts centered around the Regency England period. Such a genre has been a natural choice for him, for while he has always loved to read and enjoys almost every genre there is, his favorites delve into historical periods, from Ancient Rome to World War Two and everything in between. Though Colin has lived most of his life in Canada, he dislikes cold weather with a passion. This dislike led him to sell his house and move with his wife to the big island of Hawaii, where he loved every minute of the eighteen months they were there. Since returning to Canada, he has settled down in the small city of Medicine Hat, Alberta with his wife of forty-plus years. Together they are the proud parents of two sons and two daughters plus dearly loved grandchildren. They also act as servants to two dogs: a Shih Tzu, who has been with them she was a puppy, and a Border Collie puppy he took in to ease the void caused when his former best friend, their senior Border Collie, crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
