Colleen Coyne imagines plots and characters while passing long hours confined to an airplane seat. She has spent considerable time in the air as an international trade specialist expanding markets around the globe for New England and Mid-Atlantic seafood. Her marriage to a Dane also keeps her hopping between homes in the USA and Europe. Colleen’s home base in the U.S. is in Mystic, Connecticut. Watching spectacular sunsets while enjoying a glass of wine with family and friends at her home on the Mystic River is one of her most favorite things to do. “The Unintended Heiress,” Colleen’s debut novel was released in February 2023. It is a Firebird Book Awards winner in the category: Fiction (First Time Published). “Bewept,” her second novel has been released.
