Hi, I’m Collette!

I’ve been writing stories for as long as I can remember. From epic battles in faraway lands to heartwarming love stories set in cozy small towns, I’m always jotting down notes, filling pages with story ideas.

I started my writing journey in screenwriting. It was an amazing learning experience, and where I fell in love with the craft of writing. From there, I decided I wanted to write novels.

Fantasy is my first love, so I set out to write in that genre. Several manuscripts later, I tested the self-publishing waters with two YA Fantasy novels, mainly as a way to learn the process. There was a lot of trial and error, lol, but it was a space I knew I wanted to do more in. Flash forward a couple of years, and I decided I wanted to venture into romance novels. Romance was always a subplot of my fantasy stories, so it was a natural progression. And now here we are today, where I write both fantasy and romance.

My sweet, small-town romance series set in Texas, where neighbors are like family and sunsets are an event, debuted in May 2025. (You can find the links on the Books page.) There will be four books in the series. (The remaining two will be published in 2026.)

Stories filled with hope, courage, family—the one we’re born into and the one we find—and love in all its forms are the ones I want to share. If these are the kinds of tales that keep you reading late into the night, I’d love for you to come along for the ride as I prepare to put more stories out into the world.

When I’m not writing you can find me hanging out with my family (I’m a mom of two boys—now young adults—and happily married to a man who still makes me laugh after all these years), dreaming of travel destinations to add to my must-see list, or curled up with a good book.
