Kent speaks with Kidney Warrior and Published Fictor Author Weston L. Collins. He shares his story of being diagnosed with Kidney disease, dialysis, fighting a snowstorm to receive his kidney transplant, and takes us into his thoughts on writing and more!
Weston L. Collins has been a published fiction author for over 10 years. In his time, he has written over 13 books and has been published four times. As well as being a kidney transplant recipient, Weston is also a qualified mediator who teaches preparation for mediation as well as conducting mediations for The Bexar County Dispute Resolution Center and privately. He attended Texas A&M Kingsville University on a football scholarship and then Houston Baptist University to pursue more educational avenues. Growing up in a Lutheran private school, as well as growing up in the culturally diverse area of Houston Texas, he has a background where he has encountered all walks of life. He uses that experience so that he can write many of the characters that he creates to give life to his novels. Weston L. Collins cares about the readers through his actions and to make sure that people are represented in his books accurately.
Weston is married to his wife Mrs. Jaclyn Collins and lives in the great state of Texas. He is a part of the Kidney Solutions family since his transplant back in February of 2022, and looks to also bring a voice to kidney patients through his art, efforts in the community, and the world at large.
