A Michigan native who studied writing in school, Donna first came to Vegas to make costumes and soon was weaving the stories she heard in the back of the girl’s dressing room into her first novel.

Las Vegas’ and the recently published ’The Las Vegas Sophisticate’. She also has several thrillers, ’Desperate Ambition, ’ about a political assassination, ’The Right Society, ’ about a devout Christian family that moves into a religious community and finds it’s easier to get in than it is to get out, and ’The Other Hand, ’ about a famous athlete who leaves his family for a young, virginal girl. Shortly after they divorce, she winds up slaughtered. He is the primary suspect, but not the only one. Donna has a popular series of historical romances, ＂The Manhattan Stories＂, ’Jessica’, ’Pillsbury Crossing’, ’The Cabin’ and ’Kimimela’ and the most recently released ＂D’Arcy Curran＂. A light-hearted work, ’Conversations With Skip, ’ is the story of a shelter dog adopted by a young woman having trouble sleeping after her divorce. With his unusual ability to communicate, he is soon running her life, arranging her romances, and teaching her to laugh again.
