Hi! I'm Donna June Cooper and I write romance - contemporary romance with a small town feel, a lot of suspense, some laughter, some tears, a lot of fireflies, and the whisper of something ancient and inexplicable. My series, the Books of the Kindling, focuses on Woodruff Mountain, the ancient and inconceivable power beneath it, and the family that has hidden its secrets for centuries.

The first trilogy in the Books of the Kindling series was originally published by Samhain Publishing and I am republishing it with new titles, spiffed up covers, and a bit of a polish, in other words, a rewrite!

The series was originally mislabeled as paranormal. (This was not Samhain’s fault!) It is, instead, contemporary romance with a side of romantic suspen

Arthur C. Clarke
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Henry David Thoreau
“What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?”
Henry David Thoreau, Familiar letters

Henry Beston
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod
