Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
As the youngest child in a large family, Donna felt lost in the crowd. She entertained herself by making up stories and friends to play with. By age 5, Donna had taught herself to read, and that began her imaginative journey to dreamy castles with princes and fairy godmothers.
Donna is a grandmother, random fact-finder, and encourager. And, yes, she believes she’s a superhero.
She lives in California with her family and four cats. (Sadly, no mice like Simon.)

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Crowning the King, Ricky Rent, Street Rat series
This is a spin-off series from the Superhero School series with Ricky Rent as the main, wise-cracking, irritable character.
It was inspired by fans request to know more about Ricky and what he is up to next.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write by hand to create the story, then convert to text for edits. I host a few writing groups, my own podcast, The Writer’s Parachute, as well as editing, ghostwriting, and coaching others from idea to book.
My creative process is always challenging since my characters feel like friends….interrupting my sleep, demanding time and attention, or auditioning for greater parts. I enjoy letting my imagination play and explore new worlds, ideals, and attitudes.
