Since January 2017 Colleen organized a Sisters In Crime chapter in New Orleans, has been elected President and has a planned a Mystery Writers' Conference for June. She is currently working on her 5th book in the Brandy Alexander series. "My vacation and work related travels opened my eyes as to how different we are in New Orleans. We are very different from the rest of the state, let alone the rest of the country. We have different laws, different food and the way we cook it, different weather, different things we celebrate and how we celebrate them. We even have a different language in some cases. Everyone thinks New Orleans is all about a good time in the French Quarter or on Bourbon Street, but those of us from here know that's only the tip of the iceberg, well, if we had icebergs." Colleen loves to travel and do new things. She is an avid Scuba diver and Underwater photographer. She has owned and raced sailboats in the Gulf of Mexico, Key West and the BVI. In New Orleans, she's been active in many Mardi Gras Krewes, Super Krewes, and organizations and has belonged to the Krewe of Cork, Orpheus, Iris, Tucks, Joan of Arc and the Halloween Krewe of Boo. Colleen says she has never met a parade she didn't like. She's an ardent animal lover and the Director for a breed rescue, Schnauzer Rescue of Louisiana for the last fifteen years. She has rescued and placed over 350 abandoned or surrendered Schnauzers. She loves to write, and writes about what she loves. Colleen says, "New Orleans is where it all happens for me."
