Author of several e-books, including Dead Easy Money, published by dnovel.com. Also editor of The Second Void Science-Fiction and Fantasy and Void Science-Fiction and Fantasy: The Fourth Dimension, both published by Void; SF aus Australien, Goldmann Verlag (Germany); Frontier Worlds; Dream Weavers; and the "Shivers" series. Author of over 140 short stories published in anthologies, including Gothic Ghosts, Urban Fantasies, Alien Shores, and Dreaming Down-Under, and magazines throughout the world, including Weirdbook, Eidolon, Aurealis, PC User, Orbit, Challenge, Pursuit, and Cicada. Some of Collins's work appears under the name Marilyn Fate. Some of Collins's work also appears under the name Roger Wilcox, which is a joint pseudonym with Sean McMullen.

WORK IN PROGRESS: The Hiveborn, a sequel to The Earthborn; a fourth book in the "Jelindel Chronicles," tentatively titled Wardragon; Maximus Mole and Jazmin Darke, young adult thrillers; A Wizard in Trouble, a fantasy novel; and Evil Intent, an adult horror novel.

SIDELIGHTS: Science-fiction writer and editor Paul Collins once commented that he began his writing career "when I was seventeen because I wanted to be someone, perhaps leave my mark upon the world. I wasn't anything special at sports, and knew that racing cars and motorbikes would probably get me killed. A typewriter saved the day."

Born in England and raised in New Zealand, Collins decided to make his mark in Australia at age eighteen. A few years after his arrival, his first published book, a Western titled Hot Lead—Cold Sweat, appeared, followed by his own venture into magazine publishing, the science fiction and fantasy periodical Void. In 1978, Collins turned Void magazine into a publisher of science-fiction books; he hired Rowena Cory and changed the company name to Cory & Collins. The company provided an outlet for several Australian science-fiction authors, including Wynne Whiteford, Jack Wodhams, A. Bertram Chandler, Russell Blackford, and David Lake. However, Collins eventually closed Cory & Collins in 1985 to concentrate on his own works for children and adults.

When asked about the inspiration for his 1999 award-winning book The Dog King, Collins replied, "Basically Australia's national newspapers were bewailing the fact that kids don't read this country's classics. I realized that Henry Lawson had written several stories featuring dogs—perhaps his best-known short fiction was called 'The Loaded Dog.' So I worked a plot around the fact that Henry Lawson comes back from the dead and tells his stories to kids who really, really want a dog. You don't find out for sure that the ghost was actually Henry Lawson. I figured that this was a good way to get kids reading the classics again—naturally I had to modernize the stories a little."

Reviewers responded favorably to Collins's efforts starring a young boy named Keiren who wishes for a dog of his own. Teased and bullied at school, Keiren strikes up a friendship with Jack Ellis, a drifter staying at his mother's boarding house. Still mourning the loss of his father, the young boy comes to love the stories that Jack tells about all kinds of dogs, tales that the reader, but not Keiren, realizes came from the pen of Henry Lawson years ago. Eventually Keiren does find a canine friend and Jack moves on to another town. With his new companion, the young boy enters his school's annual dog show with a newfound confidence and hope for the future. Reviewing The Dog King in Magpies, Russ Merrin described the book as "a warm, moving tale of the acceptance of change and loss—and the importance of family and friends." "Collins draws his characters with a deft pen," wrote a Reading Time critic, who went on call The Dog King "a good read for younger readers."

As with most of his fantasy and horror tales, Collins's science fiction has largely been geared to younger readers. One of his efforts in the genre is The Earthborn. Set in the distant future after humanity has suffered from a horrible holocaust that has destroyed civilization, the novel begins after a ship carrying a group of colonists returns to Earth. Their mission to Tau Ceti III has been a failure, but during their trip the colonists have formed a unique society that they consider far superior to the miserable remains of humanity they discover on their home world. The "Skyborn," as they now call themselves, are determined to eliminate the remaining humans and recivilize the planet. In preparation for their plans, they send young ensign Welkin Quinn to discover if the air is breathable and the land survivable. During his ventures, he discovers that the humans on Earth have many important secrets that help them survive. Quinn tries to bring this knowledge back to the unimpressed Skyborn, and in the process his perceptions of his own people are radically changed. Although Booklist critic Roland Green felt that the author attempts to "accomplish too much" in this novel, he concluded that "the enjoyment quotient remains high." A Publishers Weekly reviewer found the story somewhat conventional, but felt that "the pace moves quickly enough to keep readers focused on the action-packed plot."

Collins is also well known for the anthologies of science fiction he edits for both children and adults. Among his collections are Strange Fruit: Tales of the Unexpected, a book of horror stories, Dream Weavers, a grouping of heroic fantasy tales, and Fantastic Worlds, a gathering of science fiction and fantasy writings. Reviewing Fantastic Worlds in Magpies, Michael Gregg remarked that "the consistency of the writing makes it useful and entertaining for those who have already had a first taste of the genre." Collins has also edited several series of books with Meredith Costain. Ranging from short story collections to nonfiction works on world countries, some of the series have been published in both Australia and the United States. One prolific collection of science fiction stories, the "Spinouts Bronze" series, received the Aurealis Convenor's Award in 2001.

Adding to his work in the field of science fiction, Collins edited The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy in 1998, a reference book covering the works of Australian authors. Including both writers for children and adults, The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy focuses on work in the genre produced after 1950 and includes biographies on well-known authors. Claiming that "the coverage is extensive, the research exhaustive, and the thematic essays are fascinating," Magpies reviewer Helen Purdie described the book as "a very handy tool for readers and book buyers." Though noticing a few errors, Locus contributor Jonathan Strahan felt the work contained "an impressive and significant amount of useful information on Australian science fiction and fantasy, and the editors deserve applause for their achievement."

Discussing his working habits, Collins once said "It's always a slow start. Get up about nine, make coffee, have breakfast, read the major newspaper, collect the mail from my post office box. About eleven I collect e-mails and respond to them—about lunchtime and it's time to eat. If I'm working on a book, I try to start by about one in the afternoon, and sometimes go through until dinner, then even until late at night, depending on how the writing is going. I work seven days a week if the work is there."

Asked about what he hopes to achieve through the books he writes, Collins once said, "I'd like to think that my work encourages kids to read. I try to make them action-based, more plot driven than character driven." Of influences on his work, the author said "Meredith Costain has influenced the way I write. She's always made herself available to read my material and offer suggestions. I think any aspiring writer, and even established writers, need a sort of mentor to guide them sometimes. I read heaps of different authors and don't have a particular favorite."

Collins's advice to aspiring writers is: "Get a mentor! You'd be surprised how some established authors can be flattered to be asked. It only takes a letter in care of the publisher."

Collins once told CA: "I wasn't a reader when I was a kid. I mostly read Marvel comics, like The Hulk and Captain America. This probably explains why I write action-packed, visual books, rather than character-driven books."

"There are many things I like about writing. I have no schedule to abide to, I can work from home, I reap the benefits of my labours, there is no outlay for income (as there are in most businesses), apart from hours. My favourite book would be The Earthborn. Every major, and some not so major, publisher in Australia rejected it. The first U.S. publisher it was sent to, Tor, accepted it. I received four times the remuneration than I would have had it been published in Australia, and received a wider audience, because Tor published four times more copies than a local publisher would have. Sometimes bad news can turn into good news.

"I don't get huge amounts of fan mail, but the kids who do write to me say glowing things. One fan on a Web site said she hoped the "Jelindel Chronicles" would never end. I guess if my work encourages kids to read, then that's enough for me."
