I'm So Glad You're Here!
I'm a self-published author and writing coach passionate about telling women's stories without relying on tired tropes or tidy endings. My novels are grounded in the real emotional landscapes of women—especially those of us who’ve spent decades doubting our worth. If you're a woman in midlife or beyond who's done shrinking herself to fit in, you're in the right place. Through my writing and coaching, I’m here to remind you that your voice matters, your story matters, and you’re allowed to take up space.
Whether you're here to read stories that feel like your own or finally write the one you’ve been carrying inside you for years, you’re not alone—and it’s not too late.

I loved it! Dana's writing is incredible, and the story is brilliant, setting the main character Charise and her psychoses up so well.
J Scott
Dana delivers the plot so smoothly. She provides just the right balance between exposition and dialogue. .., the narrative was just enough, and the dialogue was crisp and witty. I’d tear up at times and laugh aloud at others, and such is the nature of life, is it not? Not only did it appeal to my emotions, but also to my senses. Dana's descriptions of setting and sound paint a vivid picture, while her sexy scenes truly awaken any sense that may be napping!
(Dana) strikes a perfect balance in the writing. Not so artful that it distracts or is confusing, but just inventive enough to demonstrate the author's skill and avoid trotting out loads of stale vocabulary.
