Douglas Colston holds a BA, a BSc and a post-graduate Psychology qualification. Decades ago, he garnered some lyric and song writing credits playing in Australian Ska bands - and while not playing Ska, he was studying and working in the public sector. Later, he transitioned into Counselling as a vocation and now he is also pursuing a PhD project (focused on the Creative Nonfiction genre). His poetry, fiction and nonfiction has been published in online and print journals (including 'Lone Mountain Literary Society', 'New Note Poetry', 'TwoTwoOneNYC', 'Red Door Magazine', 'Impspired' and 'New World Writing'), in addition to appearing in anthologies (including 'Oxymorons and Poets', 'The Way of the Crow', 'Erotica of eternity', 'Let's begin again', 'Garden of poets' and 'My Glorious Quill').
