Derek Coleman was born in Birmingham in the heart of the United Kingdom but now lives in West Virginia, USA in a land where the tree-clad mountains dip into the Ohio River Valley. He has been writing virtually since he was big enough to hold a pen, has won various prizes and has an ongoing column in the Putnam Herald newspaper. An avid fan of military history he is the author of numerous articles, particularly on the Revolutionary War. 'Guilty?' was his first novel featuring the crime-fighting duo, Dean and Steph. It proved so popular he has written the sequels, 'Beneficiary', 'Traitor', 'Innocent' and 'Cheating', all with 5 star reviews. Joining them is 'The Litchfield Conspiracy', a political thriller, Weoley, a blockbuster covering the story of a castle over 900 turbulent years, "Hessians' and 'Liberty', books set against the background of the Revolutionary War. 'DA', the hunt for a serial killer, 'Hunted', a breathtaking chase across two continents and 'The Prince's Puzzle', a 17th century detective mystery complete the set for now but more are in the pipeline.
