Hello, I’m Colleen Marie!

I'm so happy to welcome you to One Spirit of Love, where I share my love for all things reading, writing, small-town living, and faith.

Who am I? Well, let’s try to sum it up ➝ I’m a tea drinking, horseback riding, baseball loving, wife and momma. I love morning sunrises and evening bonfires, good books, Christmas, and Jesus.

I write sweet small-town romance with a sprinkle of humor, Irish luck, and southern charm. You can always count on stories full of beautiful country settings, quirky small towns, memorable characters, and clean, heartwarming romance ♥
