GUEST:

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.) More information about Donna including writing tips can be found on her website.
