Born in Detroit, Colleen Gleason
spent most of her adult life in Michigan. She attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, receiving her BA in English, and later went on to obtain her MBA from the University of Michigan in Flint.
After more than fifteen years of sales, marketing, and management experience in the health care industry, Colleen began her own health insurance agency, which she owned and operated for several years. However, her passion has always been writing fiction, and in late 2005, she sold her first two books to New American Library, a division of The Penguin Group.
Her debut novel, The Rest Falls Away, the first in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles, was released to acclaim in early 2007. Publishers Weekly cited Colleen in a cover story about promising new romance novelists, and joined other media in giving The Rest Falls Away glowing reviews.
