He sold his first story to a newspaper at the age of 15. <br /> <br /> Collings is a member of [http://Mormon.org The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]. In a ''Deseret News'' interview, he said:<br /> <br /> : There’s a split in horror. One kind of horror celebrates evil, and it knocks you into the gutter and it kicks you around and then leaves you there. . . . I don’t want to judge people that like that, but that’s not for me. The kind of horror that I like is the kind that kicks you even deeper, it drops you into a hole, into an abyss, and on the way down it slices everything off of you . . . everything you thought was important. And it leaves the core values that you hold, and then it shows you that that is sufficient to climb back up to the light. And sometimes, depending on the writer, it shows you that just humanity is good enough, and sometimes that that climb requires grace; it requires very literally some kind of intervention of holiness.<br /> <br /> Collings is the author of young adult and middle grade series The Sword Chronicles and The Billy Saga and standalone titles ''Killing Time''; ''Hooked: A True Faerie Tale''; and ''The Ridealong''. He has written numerous novels, including ''The Haunted'', ''The Loon'', ''Run'', ''Apparition'', and The Colony Series. He is a multiple Bram Stoker Award nominee. <br /> <br /> Collings and his wife are the parents of several children, including a daughter who passed away as a child. <br /> <br /> : All my books tend to be about family … because I realized how much families really matter … and that is heavily informed by the fact that I hope to see my daughter again (and) that I hope that my family never has to go through this again.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mormon Life and Culture]]</div> Phicken
