About this author
I'm a character enthusiest and lover of storytelling. I've spent most of my life listening to the tales that people tell and studying what makes a book or characters alive and interesting. Writing is my love and the details the flavor. I hope that people enjoy what I can create.
Breaking News!! All of A.L. Collins' books are now available as nook books from Barnes and Noble!

This book was amazing!! A.L. Collins is a very gifted writer and storyteller. I can't even put into words how great this second book Embers was. It had everything a person could want from a book. Action, suspense, drama, jokes. It was even better...

“I just wanted things to be simple. I didn't understand why things had to be so complicated for all the grown ups. And I decided that if growing up meant things got confusing, then I would stay little forever. I would stay simple. But unfortunately everything around me did its best not to be. The world liked to be complex. It liked to twist, to distort. To bleed you dry of whatever feeling you could muster while still letting you hold on to your sanity so that you could experience heartache at its prime. I didn't know how cold the world could be when I was eleven. If I would have known...maybe I would have packed a sweater.”

Question for you! Any chance of you getting hooked up with NookPress to distribute the Twined series? All I can see on your B&N author page for ebooks is Bastion and my eyes are not nearly good enough to read a novel on my iPhone (and I seem to be in the Nook-reading non-Kindling minority here). I also put in a request via B&N but I follow another indie author on twitter who seems to give me the impression that B&N is convoluted at everything and that may take time...and I'm impatient for book 2. >.>

Hi A.L.! Thanks so much for the friend request. I look forward to reading your work! Wishing you much success and excited to talk books with you :)

All good things come to those who wait :)
There comes a point where everyone has to make a tough decision. Twined II was supposed to be released today, but after much thought and consideration, I realized that the book isn't exactly where I want it to be. I want to make the sequel to Twined the best it can possibly be, and I feel it's wrong for me to pump out a book that still needs time just for the sake of it, not when it's so close to where it needs to be. So I'm delaying the release of Twined II and will keep you posted and up to date on the status of this sequel. My apologies, but I think readers deserve my best, and that's exactly what I hope to give you.Best wishes and many thanks,
A.L. Collins

Thank you for the add! I think we agree on that, about the books needing to be good, that seems to matter a little :) But thank you for the request!
