Colleen Walker (she/her) grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, turning into a city girl and world traveler as soon as she could. Always a storyteller, she gravitates to the hard-won love stories: the almost-endless pining, the second-chance romance, the two worlds colliding. Think: Anne and Gilbert, Jane and Rochester, Anne and Wentworth. Make her cry, break her heart, and then stitch it back together with an HEA.
Putting together her love of travel with her love of a good story, she writes contemporary travel romance with lots of spice. Her characters experience the world with curiosity (even if reluctant at first!). Their best souvenir, of course, will be falling in love in the process!
Colleen lives in Chicago with her spouse, their stacks of books, and shelves of typewriters. When she’s not working and writing, she’s daydreaming or actively planning her next travel adventure.
