“A lifetime gives us stories.
Writing simply gives us the chance to share them.”
Meet the Author
Larry David Collins
He writes with a steady perspective that comes from a long and well-lived life. Now, in his later years, he approaches storytelling with patience, humility, and a genuine appreciation for the experiences that have helped him become who he is. His writing reveals a man who has spent decades observing people, listening to their stories, and recognizing that every life includes moments of triumph, heartbreak, and quiet courage.
Collins draws inspiration from the landscapes and cultures of the American Southwest. The wide horizons of New Mexico, the enduring traditions of Native communities, and the personal journeys of everyday individuals all find their way into his storytelling.
Much of Larry’s life has been shared with his beloved wife, who has been a constant source of encouragement throughout his creative journey.
Together, they have built a life dedicated to their family, faith, and mutual support. A photograph of the couple captures not only their years together but also the warmth and companionship that have accompanied Larry through every chapter of life.
Although Skystone is his first novel, Larry approaches writing much like he does life, with thoughtfulness, deliberate intent, and a resolve to create something that leaves with his readers for years to come. His stories are crafted with care, not rushed, and are the result of reflection, patience, and the wisdom gained over time.
Through his work, Larry hopes to remind readers that it is never too late to pursue a dream, tell a story, or share a piece of one’s heart with the world.
