Colleen Mitchell writes clean YA portal fantasy filled with subtle Christian themes, romantic subplots, and redemption arcs—with just enough humor to keep things light. Her stories focus on found family, inner strength, and the power of grace, offering readers a way to escape into fantasy without giving up their core values.
She’s been writing since age twelve and spent a good chunk of choir class ignoring the teacher to trade stories with her best friend in the back row. Now, she spends her time reading, crocheting stuffies for adopted niblings, drinking alarming amounts of tea, and petting her cat like a stereotypical villain.
A woman of faith, devoted wife, and vocal Ravenclaw, Colleen weaves her values into every book she writes, hoping her readers leave with renewed hope and a sense of belonging.
Colleen lives in Montana with her husband Tim and their cat Luna.
