My imagination has been captured of late by the concept of ‘courage’ – that crystalline intangible that defines some authors and causes their words to reach us at the core.
What is it that characterizes some artists as ‘brave’, in a world where so many miss the mark?
Is it the refusal to shirk the truth? For I believe ‘truth’ is at the heart of all great works, even – no, especially – those of... read more »

I started thinking that this was going to be a murder mystery. In a way it was but it also read like a family relationships drama fraught with mental health and addiction issues. Mrs.Carrick writes a family drama with complex parent/child/sibling...

A respectful, intimate character dissection of the heights and failings of greatness. The Noon God walks you through the arrogance and splendour of a fiction author's life, looked back on by his eldest daughter in the days after his murder, and pa...

Intriguing story of an intense relationship. I didn't expect the ending. Donna's writing style is smooth and elegant.

Love this quote at your website "Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach him to Tweet and he’ll forget to eat…" LOL!
Donna, thanks for adding me to your friends. I've been on many types of lists lately and it's a pleasure to land on a good one. I started writing with a true crime book after I caught a serial killer in 2000. Since then I've written two fiction murder mysteries. I hope you will check out The Cruelest Cut and The Coldest Fear. I'm interested in the Crime Writers of Canada. Do they allow their southern cousins to join?
Likewise, it's good to meet you, too!Best,
Donna
