Donna Ashcroft declared she would be an author at the age of twelve. Along the way she worked in publishing, in online retail and as a freelance copywriter until she finally decided she'd reached her 'now or never' time.
Her debut novel, Summer at the Castle Cafe , was shortlisted for the RNA Debut Romantic Novel Award in 2019, and she's been busy on her laptop ever since.
Donna loves a happy ending and is never more content than when she's escaping into a romance novel or movie. When she's not reading or writing she's probably hoovering, or negotiating with her teenagers about who is doing the washing up.
