Donna Alward is a bestselling author who has been enchanting readers since 2006 with her stories of happy endings and homecomings. She has won several awards and her work has been translated into over a dozen languages. Donna has a degree in English Literature, which she always knew would pay off, and she has worked in various fields including as an administrative assistant, teaching assistant, in retail, and as a stay-at-home-mom. Now, she is happily fulfilling her dream of being a full-time writer.
Donna's love of literature and romance is evident in the authors she enjoys reading, such as Judith McNaught, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, and LaVyrle Spencer. She found her passion for writing romance novels after getting the idea to write one of her own, which took five years and ten manuscripts to accomplish. Despite her many achievements, Donna still finds joy in hearing praise from her readers.
Donna currently resides in Nova Scotia, Canada, with her husband and two cats. She finds inspiration for her writing near the water, often kayaking on the lake or walking the sandy beaches. Her new historical fiction tales blend her love of history with characters who step beyond their biggest fears to claim the lives they desire. Donna's connection to her fans can be seen through her social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.
