Charles Paul Collins spent three decades researching before writing his first novel "THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather and Stone" a gripping, emotional family saga set in the prosperous nineteenth century town of Milford, Massachusetts, where his ancestors find themselves caught between America's promise of prosperity and violent cultural prejudice against them, as they hurl headlong into the twentieth century and "the war to end all war." 

His work under the "Life Crafting" brand is focused on personal development, and available on multiple platforms including Amazon Kindle, a Life Crafting Masterclass on Udemy, and published articles in his Life Crafting Journal on Medium. 

Charles has made guest appearances on more than fifty podcasts discussing his work of applying the well-known principles of craftsmanship and performance excellence to improve the quality of our lives.

Charles holds a B.S. in Speech from Emerson College, a certification in Intercultural Research from Georgetown University, and continuing education from the University of Michigan and the University of Edinburgh.
