Not quietly because the mountain sings and those who hear its song find themselves burdened with inexplicable abilities in a world that desperately needs their gifts.
The Books of the Kindling tells the stories of those people - people who could live in your town - people burdened with overwhelming choices and…power.
But most of all, these are stories about love.
The Firefly Trilogy introduces you to the Woodruff siblings, their mountain, their loves… and their "magic".
Book One, Catching Stars in a Jar
Dr. Grace Woodruff is hiding an inconceivable secret. DEA agent Nick McKenzie is facing certain death.
Could her mountain sanctuary become their tomb?
Book Two, Origami Dreams
One of Dr. Daniel Woodruff's terrifying visions brings him into journalist Mel Noblett's path.
Another premonition will threaten them both...and the world.
Book Three, Firefly Song
Attorney Thea Woodruff's words can conquer mind and body...and might endanger those around her.
Can Sheriff Jake Moser's music soothe her soul and capture her heart?
(NOTE: The Firefly Trilogy is a box set containing the previously individually published Books 1-3 of the Books of the Kindling.)
The granddaughter of a coal miner and the great-great-granddaughter of one of the Muscogee people, Donna was raised in the shadows of the Appalachian Mountains, in the beautiful hills of East Tennessee. She was lured away from her mountains by an admittedly gorgeous Italian guy, who married her and carried her off to very flat (they call hills mountains down here) and very hot (no seriously, people bake cookies in their cars) Texas.
Donna has made her living doing a little bit of everything, including a stint as an IRS tax auditor, a few years managing bookstores, and a long career writing and managing writers in the corporate world.
Donna enjoys being walked by her energetic fur babies, yoga, reading (three books at once, at times), and travel (with family in Italy and England, who wouldn’t?) Like any child of the Appalachians, she can’t stay away from “her mountains” for long, and visits as often as she can.
