C.M. McCoy / Colleen Oefelein is an award-winning author of romantasy and supernatural thrillers inspired by the wild beauty and isolation of Alaska. A retired U.S. Air Force officer, dance instructor, and adventure junkie, she weaves mythology, science, and emotion into genre-bending stories filled with danger, wit, and heart.
Her debut novel, EERIE, introduces readers to ParaScience University—a secret Alaskan campus where mythology meets modern science, and where love can be as deadly as the monsters that haunt the dark.
When she’s not writing, Colleen explores the Alaskan wilderness, mentors emerging authors, and creates immersive book worlds that blur the line between fear and fascination.
