In high school, friends began reading her stories and encouraging her to continue to write. Life took her on a different path for awhile, marrying and raising her own two children; however, as a stay-at-home mom, she began writing again. Skin Deep is the third book published by MP Kollman. She published the first in a series of nine books, Brothers, in 1995; the second, Sequela, in 2012; the third in the series, The Honeymoon, is in the works. Her children are now grown; she and her husband, Jim, have two grandchildren.view less
