Biography

Mildred Colvin is a wife, mother of three, and grandmother to three beautiful girls. She started writing when her children were young as they asked for stories. Not from a book. No! They were only satisfied when she made up stories. As the stories grew, she wrote some down and sent them off to magazines. Eight were published before her imagination turned toward love stories, which is what she enjoys reading.

She has been writing Christian or clean and wholesome romance since 2001. Over the years several readers from pre-teens to older kids in their eighties and nineties have written expressing their interest in her books. She always loves to hear about one of her stories touching someone's heart. Her purpose in writing is to encourage, entertain, and bless someone else.

She lives in the United States and sets her characters in the middle states from Texas to Nebraska and Iowa and reaching across Illinois to Colorado. She also has an Oregon Trail series, but the Great Plains states are her favorite setting.

She is active in a very special critique group and has written and published over 60 books in both historical and contemporary themes, and plans to continue writing as long as God allows. He has been good in giving her many ideas for stories. Maybe more than she will be able to finish, but she enjoys each one.

Smashwords book reviews by Mildred Colvin

  • Love For Lenore on Feb. 29, 2012

    This is a story that will keep your interest.It's one you can sit down and enjoy from beginning to end. I believe Mrs. Tittel should write more historicals.
  • A Christmas Hope on March 08, 2024

    I enjoyed A Christmas Hope for several reasons. I love the shorter books that are to the point and that I can read in no more than 2 days. This one was an easy read, which was great. The characters were real and the writing was well done. I love the clean romance with emotion, so I recommend this story to others. Were there errors? I don't know. I was too involved in the story to notice, so maybe not.
