Interview with Author – Terri Deno

Interview with Author – Donna Barker
About Donna Barker: I write quirky women's fiction and rebel romance. Why rebel? Well, because 'proper' romance writers bristle at my heroines' paths to happily ever after.

In my real life, I love men, which may not be apparent in reading my creative writing. I’m a volunteer firefighter with a pathological fear of spiders.
