No demons. No angels. No fairies or mythical beasts of the forest. The only fantastical element in The Wizard Within is Magic itself, a sentient being that lives within all of creation. This truth has been hidden from Eli Stone his whole life, leaving him unprepared to transition from homeless addict to becoming The Red, a leader intended to Pair with his counterpart Thorne Rios and Awaken the magic that has been suppressed in Seattle for over twenty years. Learning to believe in himself and trust others is key.
I have been reading since before I knew the alphabet, thanks to my mother who would read to me and always had great books on my toy shelves. Once I learned my ABCs, there was no holding me back from writing as well.
Mystery and suspense are my favorite genres to both read and write, but I also enjoy sci-fi and historical fiction. Dorothy Dunnett is my favorite historical author, for instance.
In addition to my STREET STORIES series, I have had several short stories published, most of them mysteries. I'm currently working on a cozy mystery series, which I plan to publish under my maiden name, Deb Donahue. My freelance business which currently focuses on writing or editing fiction for hire, but also includes a wide range of commercial writing as well: articles, news features, blogging, etc..
