With books as a constant companion growing up, Donna quickly developed a love for writing her own stories and becoming a published author. Her first published story was written in the fourth grade and appeared in the local newspaper. She continued to write as she grew up and pursued a career in marketing, but her love for fantasy and storytelling never faded. She has a special place in her heart for animals, especially cats, often the subjects of her stories. Donna is grateful to God for all His blessings, including a home she loves in Arizona; thirty-four years in a happy marriage; a beautiful, talented daughter; three loving sisters, and an amazing, ninety-six-year-old father. Her beloved mother was also a lover of books and writing, published four books, and never stopped providing inspiration and loving support to everyone she knew.
