edit data

D. Thrush mixes it up with Literary & Women’s Fiction, PG-rated Rom Coms, and a Spiritual Inspirational novel. All her books explore family and friendship, love and romance, relationships and life. She writes from the heart and finds it difficult to part with her characters when their stories end, hence several sequels. All books are standalones.

“Fairy Tale Karma” was a #1 Amazon Bestseller, “Guardian of the Light” earned a B.R.A.G. Medallion, and “The Daughter Claus” (which her mother told her to write) was a finalist for the Ian Book of the Year, Wishing Shelf Awards, and Readers’ Favorites. Three books and a free prequel complete the popular Santina Series.

Merry..... Spring

It’s officially Spring and the clocks have sprung forward, so why not have a sale on all the books in my Christmas series? The prequel The Santa Secret is still free, and the rest of the 4 books in the Santina Series are only .99 each through Saturday, March 28. As one reader said, it doesn’t have to be Christmas to enjoy this series about the dysfunctional Claus family.
