Colleen was born and raised in and around Montreal. Her love for the city has led her to write her first published novels, “Lil’s Way” and “Jaded.” She is presently writing The Adam Garwood Detective Series with “Yolk” being book 1 and “Gritty” book 2. She is best known for her strong characters and her vivid imagination. Her love for mystery and suspense has made for a very descriptive read. She will continue to focus her many characters and writing within Montreal, the area in which she grew up and loves. She has done public speaking and will always be known as a people person. Her passion is writing but her true love is her family. She is a wife, and the mother of five grown children and five grandchildren. When not writing she spends her time travelling with her husband, Mike. She loves reading, watching old movies, cooking and crocheting. She started writing as soon as she could read, but never fully fulfilled her dream of becoming a published author, until later in her senior years. Her motto in life is, “You are never too old to live and achieve your dreams. Age has no barriers.”
