edit data

In 2016, Donna Jay published her first sapphic romance. Since then, she has published eighteen more books, three of which made the number one spot in lesbian fiction.

Her stories feature resilient women, thought-provoking storylines, have plenty of heat, and are all set against the stunning backdrop of her home country, New Zealand.

She also writes sweet romances under the name Diana Jayne.

When she’s not writing, Donna can be found with her nose stuck in a book, or her backside glued to the sofa, binge-watching post-apocalyptic movies.

Very engaging story, brilliant writing. I was engrossed throughout, but somehow, I expected the ending to be more shocking.
