Author Description

Sometimes, being alone is a wonderful thing. Time to think, to reminisce, to prepare for what comes next. Other times, it’s a brutal nightmare; the sheer lack of human interaction sending one into what feels like an endless downward spiral. Colp’s sixth collection, Solitude, contains fifteen stories, each of which provides a portrayal of what it is like to be alone; whether that be through the eyes of an old man wandering the halls of a retirement community late at night, the actions of a soldier traumatised by war or the thoughts of a young lady who truly feels that she has no one.
