Bio: Author Donna Sundblad
Author and full-time freelance writer, Donna Sundblad, resides in Georgia with her husband, Rick, and a flock of pets including five cockatiels and her Blue-front Amazon named Neelix. Her books Pumping Your Muse (2005) and Windwalker (2006) are available in paper and ebook formats through Amazon and Fictonwise. Her most recent fantasy novel Beyond the Fifth Gate was released in September of 2008 and is also available in both formats.
Donna enjoys life as a wife, mother, and grandmother. She's the eldest of seven and the great-great granddaughter of a Native American named Little Beetle. Little Beetle's people were a blend of Chippewa and Mingo and lived in West Virginia. She decided to leave her culture and took on the name Ida M. Biddle. When she married a white fur trader named Marshall Prickett, their joining was not accepted by either culture, but they forged a new life together.
Donna's love of family, belief in God, interest in her Native American heritage and her love of fantasy and science fiction all influence her writing. In 2006, Donna left her day job as a vacation rental reservationist on a small island in Florida to pursue writing full time. Her freelancing credits span fiction and non-fiction short stories as well as good old days, inspirational, and how-tos for writers.
