Colleen L. Reece was born and raised near the small, western Washington logging town of Darrington, in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. Her parents instilled principles by which to live a meaningful life. Colleen's mother taught her to read by kerosene lamplight in a home without running water or electricity--but rich in love of God and family. There Colleen dreamed of someday writing a book. God has multiplied that "someday" book into 150+ "Books You Can Trust," with six million copies sold. Genres include Christian and inspirational romance, westerns and adventure, children's and young adult titles, and collections of short stories and articles. ANNOUNCING REECE'S RAMBLINGS. If you would like to keep track of what Colleen is up to, she entered the wonderful world of blogging on 9-28-16, and loves it. Click on mountain picture to see her blog banner. White Horse Mountain stands at the end of Main Street in Darrington, one of the things Colleen missed most when she and her mother moved to Vancouver, WA in 1970. They relocated to Auburn, WA in 1978 to a home just a ten-minute walk to a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier.
