Donna is currently working on the galleys for her next fantasty novel Beyond the Fifth Gate due out this summer. It's another first for Donna as she introduces a female protagonist by the name of Elita. This reluctant hero is stripped from her parents at age twelve by an insectoid race that takes over her world and inslaves the humans. But there's hope. Twelve years later, the alignment of five planets in the dawn sky marks the time of fulfillment. The chosen must travel through the five mystical gates within seven days and return with the answer to eradicating the monstrous Mantids.Latest Interview:

"I read what I could of Pumping Your Muse on the website! Can't wait to get a copy; it's full of fresh ideas and inspiration. I've always not been observant - of people, yes - of my surroundings, no. Your book teaches that! I can't wait to see what else is hiding within its cover." ~Vickie~
"You may be interested to know that I teach two courses, one for 7th and one for 8th graders. The 7th grade class is called, "Writers Workshop." Though our primary focus has been on grammar, my aim is to change the balance to emphasize writing. For the 8th graders constructing research papers, a skill which is of course important. But through your book and our recent conference, I've learned how much research is emphasized for the writer of fiction. This is my second year teaching these classes (though I've been in the field now for 10 years), and the greatest challenge is to keep students motivated to write. Quite frankly, they seem more interested in writing fiction than in expository forms. And now that I realize how important the research component is to the successful writer of fiction, I feel like I can offer my students the opportunity to explore both expository and narrative forms." ~Warren Akin~
