Having written six hilarious comedy books for Kindle it was rapidly becoming evident to David that the chances of the 'Puckingell' series reaching the multitudes via e-books was on a parallel with him receiving a phone call from Beyonce saying, 'I can no longer live without you'. At the beginning of 2015, whilst reading a publisher's report, he was made aware that only one book out of every ten thousand written is ever published. He picked up the gauntlet and founded Penskills Publishing. Their books are now available in WH Smiths and all major bookshops in the UK and online.
David Colane
David was born into a family of builders and raised in the East End of London. His first act of rebellion was to join the army at 17 yrs old. Aged 19 and bored with the army, he grew his hair long, dyed it blond, joined a rock band and toured Europe as its lead singer. At 22 he formed a small building business, got married and had children. In 2012 he sold a successful company and took up writing. David founded Penskills Publishing in February 2015.
David's first love was always comedy. 'Easy to write and represents a comfort zone.' He once said. His outrageous adventures of the residents living in a village called Puckingell received spontaneous response. David has now been encouraged to condense the six book series into two 400 page bumper paperback volumes, the first, 'For Pucksake' being released early in the new year.
Hot off the press is David Colane's 'WHOOSH!' 'Miranda Don't Open Your Eyes. Released from Clays on 24th September 2015 and available from W H Smith, it introduces a new super hero in Miranda Knight.
