Donna has always had stories in her head. When they were not swirling and gnawing, she had her head in a history book - both fiction and non-fiction. Now, she puts her love of old things, including her genealogy, to good use by writing both genealogy books and novels. She also has a book on her journey with hypothyroidism. Her novels have won numerous awards, and several have been nominated for the prestigious Ind'Tale RONE award. She has also written several smallish books, including a book on how to make history come to life for young people and a book on the 1778 Big Siege of Fort Boonesborough.
A graduate of Texas A & M University, Donna shares her love of books and writing with middle school students at a private school. She also owns a small tutoring business for students of all ages. Donna lives northeast of Houston with embarrassingly way too many animals. She dreams of life in a log cabin in the woods, even as she is addicted to antique and thrift shopping. And still, she manages to find time to write.
If you live in southeast Texas and would like Donna to speak at your reading, genealogy, history or other club, please contact her. She is more than likely to say yes!
