The youngest of four, MP grew up on a dairy farm in central Minnesota seven miles from town and at least two miles from any kids the same age. Since her siblings were five, four and three years older and had farm chores to perform, she learned to entertain herself. MP began writing in grade school and the characters she created became her friends, whisking her away from the family farm into precarious and adventurous situations. 

For several years after high school, life took her on a different path. A life that took her away from her passion for the written word. A life that included a move to Central Wisconsin, marrying and raising two children. However, as a stay-at-home mom, she again took pen in hand – plotting the story-line for a series of seven crime/adventure books: Brothers, the first in the series, was published in 1995; #2, Sequela in 2012; both #3 and #4, Honeymoon and Moirai were published in 2021; and both # 5, The Accident and #6, Promises were published in 2022. In 2023, MP Kollman published #7, Generations. An unrelated romance, Skin Deep was published in 2016. 

Her children are now grown and MP and her husband have three grandchildren. Having recently retired from a full-time job, she is now able to spend more time in pursuit of her writing career.
