Donnette Smith is a Texas author with a penchant for writing romantic thriller/suspense novels. Although she considers herself born with the gift to write, it wasn’t until she took a job as a newspaper journalist that she realized writing fiction was her true calling in life. She is obsessed with forensic science and crime investigations, which greatly shapes the kind of stories she creates. If someone told her she could no longer write, she would feel the need to become a homicide detective. On second thought, she would probably just write that person into her next crime novel as the murder victim. She spent three years in New Orleans learning all she could about voodoo before writing her latest thriller novel, Cunja. She would describe her discoveries as delving into a dark world only few would willingly visit. But, oh…what a story she could tell in the aftermath.
