Debut novel from Leighton Buzzard author is not for the faint-hearted

Leighton Buzzard and Dunstable-based author Colin Millar has released his debut novel, Foreign Bodies, this week.

A resident of Leighton Buzzard for many years he now splits his time between Leighton and Dunstable (where his fiancée lives).

Father-of-two Colin has previously published children’s books with Cambridge University Press and decided to embark on his first full length novel last year – which is most definitely not for children!

The novel was written in the Black Lion and White Swan in Leighton and Gary Cooper and The Highwayman in Dunstable.

He claims that having some life around him and observing the comings and goings helped inspire him when writing characters – his fiancée, however, suspects the odd pint was the real motivation!

Foreign Bodies could be described as a psycho-thriller but has many other elements. There’s a missing man, two police investigations and a serial killer with a deadly line in charm. This book is definitely not for the fainthearted.

The book, which was released on Tuesday, is available in Kindle ebook format and paperback. Two preview chapters are available to read on his website www.colinamillar.comColin is currently working on his second novel Two Weeks in the Sun.
