Colleen is an unrepentant nerd who spent most of her formative years hiding beneath the blankets with a flashlight and a book. Sadly, this did not bode well for the development of her future social skills. As a consequence, Colleen has now worked in the book and publishing industry for more than twenty-six years. (This means, of course, that she has been on intimate terms with Top Ramen and boxed mac & cheese since 1984.) She lives in New York City with her cat, Stinkyboy, and Stinkyboy’s cat, Buddy-Cat. Oh, and this is my *spam* email account, so I don't check it as frequently.
