Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is the setting for Coleen's Wedding Planner's Daughter books. Reviewers have called the first title in the series, THE WEDDING PLANNERS DAUGHTER (publishing in the UK by Macmillan Children's Books), 'Anne of Green Gables meets The Princess Diaries' and it has proved a popular success on both sides of the Atlantic. The sequel, PLAYING CUPID, comes out in Summer 2007 and a third title is also upcoming.
A former college administrator, teacher and award-winning public relations executive, Coleen is now a full-time children's author and a popular speaker at schools, libraries and civic organizations. Coleen lives in Albany, New York, with her husband and their three sons. They enjoy long weekends at their cottage on Cape Cod, where Coleen likes collecting beach glass as well as ideas for her books on the windswept shores of Popponesset Beach.
