Author Bio

Colleen A. Parkinson is an award-winning playwright and novelist living in Redding, California. She embarked upon a writing career at age nine, when she contributed a serialized detective series for her elementary school newspaper. After spending her teenage years honing her craft with short stories, one-act plays, poetry, and two extremely awful novels she wisely tossed in the trash bin, the theater bug bit her in college and she performed in many community theater productions, in addition to writing for the stage. Her first full-length play, The Injured Child, consistently attracted SRO audiences during its premiere run and earned her a Shelly Award. Her one-act play, Waiting for the Train, also won a theatrical award, and was later produced as a short film. Her first published novel, The Finest Hat in the Whole World, another award-winner, has been praised for its lyricism, realistic characters and captivating story.

Her second published novel, Hell Is In Me, is a character-driven supernatural thriller about a harried teenage boy stalked by a psychotic dead man accused of murder.
