Born, raised and still living in Richmond, Virginia, Donna discovered a love of reading at an early age. Combing through her Grandma Stone's massive bookcase, she eagerly devoured such works as THE HARDY BOYS and NANCY DREW. Once she reached an age deemed appropriate, she was allowed to read the hallowed romance collection.
       Donna soon turned her hand to writing. In high school, many of her works were published in the school's literary magazine. Prose, poetry, no genre was off limits to her fertile imagination. In testament to her wide-ranging abilities, she graduated third in her class of 450.She met her husband, a county police officer, while volunteering at Lakeside Rescue Squad.
       Not long after, she joined the ranks as a Police and Fire Dispatcher.
Discovering that shift work and young children don't mix well, Donna changed to a less stressful accounting job. Historical romances became her favorite escape from the demanding roles of wife and mother.
       After seeing her sons graduate, she focused on her writing career and joined the Virginia Romance Writers, serving as secretary and the HOLT Medallion contest coordinator. She has attended numerous workshops, including Deb Dixon's "Goals, Motivation, and Conflict," Margie Lawson's "Empowering Character Emotion," and Donald Maass' "Writing the Breakout Novel."
       She hopes her readers will enjoy her curl-in-the-chair, let-the-house-fall-in-around-you romance novels and will come back for more.
