Biography
Donna has been married to her best friend, Thomas, for over 20 years and has two daughters, two dogs and one cat.
As early as elementary school, Donna’s favorite subjects were creative writing and grammar. She often wrote stories, songs and even poetry to express her ideas and emotions. She is also a nature and animal lover. Once in high school, her biology teacher was so impressed with a paper she wrote on whales that he awarded her two 100 A+ grades on the paper.
Donna has always been a hard worker. Her first job was as a volunteer candy striper at a local hospital and she worked all through high school, college, and trade school in various jobs. In trade school she initiated the school’s first paper recycling program before graduating with honors. Ultimately she landed in the law field and eventually earned over 18 years’ experience collectively as a legal assistant in personal injury, bankruptcy and business law. Her love and passion for the arts, however, only grew stronger. Needing an outlet for her creativity, Donna began making crafts and ultimately opened her own craft business making jewelry and ornaments. She wanted to write, but working full-time with a family and a craft business was challenging at best and the time she found to write was strained. Eventually, she put her craft business on the back burner and focused on writing. Finally her first fiction mystery book, The Fallacy Series, was completed. A year or so later, The Fallacy Series II was published.
“Writing fulfills me," she said. "It is perfect for getting ideas and stories out of my mind and into something tangible. Creativity with no outlet can be a curse, and ideas and inspirations that aren’t shared are wasted. I’ve found my calling and have several more books ‘in my head’ just waiting to go from nontangible thoughts to quality entertainment for readers.”
