The first book Colleen ever checked out from the library was The Green Fairy Book, and she’s been drawn to unlikely magic and otherworldly beings ever since. She writes to explore the patterns within her own subconscious and to discover the infinite unknowns hidden in reality, believing that reading and writing allow the microcosm of the individual psyche to enter into dialogue with the vast macrocosm of existence. Her stories invite readers into that conversation, blending archetype and wonder with the quiet truths that shape who we are.
