From the historical novels that began her writing journey (written as Gwyneth Atlee and Colleen Easton) to the riveting romantic suspense that has become her trademark, Colleen Thompson writes stories that show us that sometimes, love can kill.
In 2004, Colleen Thompson's first romantic thriller, Fatal Error, launched Dorchester Publishing's new line of fast-paced, steamy romantic suspense. The book was nominated for the RITA Award for Best Romantic Suspense and won the Texas Gold for Best Mainstream Fiction. Other honors received by her books include a starred review from Publisher's Weekly, nominations from the Reviewers International Organization, Top Pick, KISS awards, and a reviewers' choice award nomination from Romantic Times Book Club Magazine, and a Perfect Ten from Romance Reviews Today.
Now residing in the Houston area with her husband and son, Colleen works with children in addition to her writing and speaking. When she's not on deadline, she can often be found hiking with her family, playing with her pets, fiddling with her computer, or with her nose stuck in a good book.

Colleen Thompson recommends
The Truth We Bury (2017)
Barbara Taylor Sissel
"In The Truth We Bury, Barbara Taylor Sissel ratchets up the suspense as she immerses readers in the lives of two women pushed to the limits in the days before their respective children are due to marry. Rich with beautiful prose, compelling characters, and questions about the imperfect nature of family relationships, this is one of those books that will stay with me for a very long time."
A Killing Tide (2006)
(Columbia River Thrillers, book 1)
P J Alderman
"Tense and riveting, Alderman's debut delivers."
