Donna Peizer

Donna's creative writing journey began late in life but has somehow miraculously evolved into her first novel, Somewhere Different Now. Donna is the mother of three grown daughters. She is a life-long learner and enjoys writing, meditation, deep conversation, various outdoor activities, and playing the Native American-style flute. She was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and spent many magnificent summers with her grandparents at their remote, one-room cabin in Medicine Bow National Forest. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the University of Colorado. Eventually, she realized how temperamentally unsuited the was to her chosen profession and moved on to other things. She became an entrepreneur and owned a small business for many years. In 1983, she entered law school and graduated from Berkeley Law in 1986 with a degree, a state bar card and a job. During the course of her career, she did a great deal of both legal and technical writing, neither of which, it turned out, was of much help in writing a novel. Now retired, she lives with her dog, Toby, in the Sierra foothills of northern California.
