Donna Wright, although raised near New York City, is a country girl at heart. Born in East Tennessee, she thinks of it as the only place to live. She's written stories all her life, but became serious about romance writing in 1997 when she discovered a local chapter of Romance Writers of America®. As an extremely active member of the Smoky Mountain Romance Writers, she entered all the contests they sponsored. After being a finalist in several of them, she won one that bragged Erin Niumata as the final round judge. Erin offered her a contract as soon as the book was finished and the rest is history. Donna now has four books with Avalon/Montlake called the TENNESSEE: LOVE series. She has spoken at the Romance Writers of America® National conference, and several other conferences and chapter meetings. Now Donna lives in East Tennessee with her husband of over 30 years and has a son. She is an active church member and believes in Jesus Christ as Salvation. Donna is available for speaking engagements regarding both her writing and her faith.
