Donna Blaber spent most of her childhood with her nose in a book, reading everything she could get her hands on. She grew up in a small town with a miniature library run by volunteer librarians with huge hearts. Every week they’d add their own recommendations to her weekly book bag.

Donna now has a Masters degree in Creative Writing, and enjoys writing stories set in New Zealand, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and much-loved Labrador.

Over the past 20 years Donna has authored books for publishers in NZ, Australia and the UK. She's had hundreds of travel and lifestyle articles published, several of which have been shortlisted for media awards.
