When she’s not conjuring up fantastical worlds or reading tarot cards, she’s traveling to magical New Orleans, whipping up delicious meals, or cozying up with my wife Kimberly, our spoiled pup Lady, and the latest fantasy TV shows. We checked in with Donna to find out what makes her tick.

I blend the real with the fantastical and magical, which speaks to my great love of writing paranormal romance novels and scripts. I write about things that bump in the night, sexy heroes and heroines, and stories where love conquers all.

I have two loves: magic and New Orleans. These two things inspired the Huntress of the Succubi book series. The story centers around a family that has been blessed by the gods with supernatural powers to protect mankind. I infused a lot of firsthand magical references into the story line which led to a deep dive into Creole history and beliefs.

Charlaine Harris is one of my favorite writers, and her Sookie Stackhouse series inspired the successful True Blood series. She was definitely an inspiration. I have always loved fantasy shows like Charmed, Supernatural, and True Blood, which all have huge fan bases. I hope to find that same success with Huntress.

I did. During the planning phase of each book, they were read by many of my colleagues in the writer's community, along with hardcore Paranormal Romance readers. I received tons of emails saying how the book read like a Film or TV series and that they would love to see it come to life. Well, that meant taking screenwriter courses and getting a handle on script writing. I'm happy to report that I've penned a Film script for each book, and the Season One TV series for Huntress. They are now being shopped for production, yay!!!

Charmed, Supernatural, and True Blood. And let’s not forget my new favorite American Horror Story. In the book genre, I already mentioned the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I can’t forget about the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward and Christine Feehan’s Dark Series.
