No stopping novelist Colleen

IT seems there's no stopping novelist Colleen Coleman.

Going to No. 1 Down Under is the icing on the cake on what has been a hugely successful year.

Describing herself as 'absolutely delighted', Colleen said no doubt she is getting a huge a huge wave of support from all the Irish diaspora in Australia.

“I'm delighted as it has topped the charts in iTunes, Amazon UK, US, Germany, and now Australia,” she said.

Colleen is daughter of Betty and Lorcan Cribben and attended primary school in Swinford and later Mount St. Michael Secondary School in Claremorris.

Don't Stop Me Now is a hilarious feel good read about finding your feet when life pulls the rug out from under you.

Her second book, I'm Still Standing, is also a real winner - a laugh out loud romantic comedy.

And fans will be delighted to hear that Colleen is busy working on book number three.
