Donna Fletcher is a USA Today bestselling author. It was her love of reading that started it all. Her mother fed her passion by signing her up for a Young Adult book club, and from then on she was never without a book. Whether in a car, on a bus, train or plane or simply standing in line, she read.

Her interests grew and varied through the years and though she expanded her reading horizons, romance books continued to remain her favorite. Her passion for reading naturally led her to try her hand at writing, but not before she studied every book on writing the library stocked.

Donna started writing short stories and placed second in a magazine contest, which encouraged her to continue. Characters began invading her dreams and thoughts and she realized that the depths of their stories required whole books.

She was lucky enough to meet a great group of women at New Jersey Romance Writers, joined a critique group and in the years that followed held various positions on the board. The year she became president of the organization she sold her first book to Kensington. She went on to write for Berkley and is presently with Avon.

Her interests vary widely and you can always find Donna taking a course or attending lectures on the most strange or extraordinary subjects, getting a certificate as a paranormal investigator being one of them.

She lectures on writing at conferences, libraries, schools and bookstores. She also teaches, writing to sell at community schools hoping to help others realize their dreams of being published.

On quieter days or in her spare time (is there such a thing?) you can find her walking in the woods, ghost hunting, rock gathering, and busy with many more of her strange interests, or naturally… reading a book.

Donna lives in New Jersey with her one-eyed, black cat named Bear and a calico named Cleo, short for Cleopatra, not by any means a misnomer since she acts and expects to be treated like a Queen.
