AUTHOR BIO

Colleen Marie is the author of heartwarming romance novels full of beautiful settings, endearing small towns, and true love—all with a sprinkle of humor. Celebrated for her unique combination of Irish and Southern storytelling, as depicted in The Hometown Love and Emerald Isle series, she embraces sweet tea, small-town charm, and a love that feels like coming home. As a member of the American Christian Fiction Writer’s (ACFW), her books are uplifting and hopeful, bringing light and joy to all. Her stories are featured in local and national media, including The Northern News, Bethany Beach Books Author Spotlight, and fiction podcasts.

She lives in a small-town in the countryside of Maryland with her husband, three children, and crew of lovable animals. Whether she’s taking long walks through the town, horseback riding on the trails, strolling the beach searching for sea glass, or curling up with a good book, she embraces the simple joys in life that she so often writes about. When she’s not writing, you can find her teaching biology at a local university, leading sessions in her animal-assisted learning and wellness program or wrestling her Australian shepherd to keep him out of trouble—which is often a losing battle.

➳ Colleen Marie is available for book talks, including book clubs, and interviews both online and in person. You can learn more about her upcoming romantic contemporary fiction releases by signing up for her monthly newsletter.
