Colin Channer (born 13 October 1963) is a Jamaican writer, often referred to as "Bob Marley with a pen," due to the spiritual, sensual, social themes presented from a literary Jamaican perspective. His first two full-length novels, Waiting in Vain and Satisfy My Soul, bear the titles of well known Marley songs.
