Donna J. Evans, writer and retired professor, began her adult life as a wife and stay-at-home mother, eventually having nine children, and traveling and camping with her family throughout the United States, Canada, and other countries. She began writing in earnest after moving to Oregon. Looking out her van's window on a long drive home to Colorado, the concept and protagonist for Hunter on the Sly was born. Her love of all genres of writing propelled her through bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs, and led to a tenured university position in rhetoric and writing, and publishing academic essays, creative nonfiction, and poetry. She lives with her husband in eastern Oregon and continues to enjoy family, writing, traveling, camping, and performing on tenor sax with local concert and big bands.
