About me

Colene Pefley is a proud mother of four and lives in a small town in Southern California called Hemet. Her children are her greatest muses and influence all that she does. She has worked various jobs including a cake decorator, lunch coordinator, and a receptionist. She now spends her time caring for her children, furthering her education, volunteering at her children's school, reading, and of course writing.

She has been writing for well over 20 years and loves the creative process. The English language and the English culture are her true passion and she hopes to move across the pond someday in the near future.
