Bill (William) Coles
I am a journalist and writer. I've written ten novels on subjects ranging from the atomic bombs of World War II to the greatest and most enduring murder mystery of the 20th Century: the Lord Lucan scandal. Though I'm probably best known for being a reformed Tabloid reporter. I was The Sun's New York Correspondent when Bill Clinton was romping in Washington DC with Monica Lewinsky. I have lectured to thousands of students and hundreds of aspiring novelists - and for me, these talks are always the most enjoyable part of being a writer.
