Paul Collins was born in England. When he was nine his family emigrated to New Zealand. At eighteen he arrived in Australia. In 1975 he launched the first issue of Void, a science fiction magazine. Since then he has published most of Australia’s science fiction and fantasy authors in a dozen or so trade anthologies and over thirty anthologies for children.

He is Australia’s most prolific genre short story writer. His stories have appeared in over 140 magazines such as Eidolon, Aurealis, PC User, Pursuit, Omega, Cicada and anthologies like Gothic Ghosts, Alien Shores and the World Fantasy Award-winning Dreaming Down-Under.

He has a black belt in both taekwondo and jujitsu, and was an amateur kick boxer trained by Dana Goodson, then the Heavyweight Kick Boxing Champion of Australia. He puts this knowledge to good use in his popular Calloway stories, some of which appear in Stalking Midnight.

His current books are the cyberpunk novel Cyberskin, available from www.clocktowerfiction.com and the award- winning book for younger readers The Dog King, available from the author's website at www.plasticine.com/pcollins.
