Before beginning her writing career in earnest, Donna kept books of a different nature. A Certified Public Accountant, she only recently abandoned the exciting world of debits and credits to return to her passion: writing romance. She writes Suspense under her pen name, Donna Richards. A two-time Golden Heart finalist (one in suspense), she was awarded the 2006 Golden Heart for Best Long Historical manuscript. Originally from Towson, Maryland, she currently resides in Central Ohio with her husband, two adult children, and loyal canine protector, Oreo. Donna loves to hear from her readers.
