She grew up in a small town with a miniature library run by volunteer librarians with huge hearts. Every week they'd add their own recommendations to her weekly book bag. Donna now has a Masters degree in Creative Writing, and enjoys writing stories set in New Zealand, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and much-loved Labrador.
