NZ Author: Colleen Mitchell

Hi there,
I live in Levin, NZ and this is my official author bio:

Colleen Mitchell resides in Levin, New Zealand. She has a grown daughter and two young grandaughters, to which she is devoted. She and her daughter share a life-long passion for horses and dogs. Colleen writes fast-paced romance/adventure novels with a distinctly New Zealand flavour. Watch for a cameo appearance of Toby, the horse, in every novel she writes. He is an old and much loved four-legged-friend who appears in a minor role in every one of her novels.


I will use this thread to keep you all updated on the progress of my books, some of which are published, and some of which are 'in the works'.
