Donna’s creative writing journey began late in life but has somehow miraculously resulted in her first novel, Somewhere Different Now, a young adult/historical fiction tale set in 1950 in rural Colorado near where she grew up. Prior to diving into the world of writing and publishing, Donna spent her varied career as a registered nurse, a lawyer, and a small business owner. Now retired, she shares her home with her dog, Toby, and in addition to writing, enjoys spending time in nature and playing the Native American-style flute. She is working on her second novel, which will feature some of the same characters but will take place in the late 1960s on the West Coast.
