Donna Sundblad

I'm a baby boomer who lives an active lifestyle and likes to think for herself. I believe life to be a lifelong growing experience, and think it important to learn from history and to take the time to research the truth rather than be spoon fed what others want me to think. I was fortunate enough to know my great-grand-parents while growing up and as an adult, had a close relationship with my grandparents as well as with my parents. Today, I'm the grandma and I cherish a close relationship with my children and grandchildren.

Experience

I have worked in corporate America, been a small business owner and enjoyed a career in Real Estate. For the last seven years, I've worn the hat of writer/editor. I worked as an editor for a small publisher for seven years and an SEO article writer and editor for five.

My most recent novel, The Inheritance, has been nominated for a 2012 Epic Ebook Award and is currently available on Kindle. Written within the allegorical tradition of classics like Pilgrim's Progress, The Inheritance offers a literal but symbolic story for today's fantasy enthusiasts. You'll laugh, experience dangers and snares and witness a budding romance. This cleverly devised tale doesn't tell you what to think, but stimulates thought as to why you believe what you believe in your own quest for the Eternal City. The Inheritance is an ideal discussion starter for youth groups, homeschoolers, families who enjoy meaningful discussions as well as discussions with my online friends.

For years I've helped people organize the use of their time to help them get things done. This included everything from saving money at the grocery store to keeping the house clean. I brought this organizational approach to writers when I founded a goal-oriented group that I still facilitate today through Writer's Village University. Along with this, I serve as a writing coach and mentor and am the president of the Writer's Alliance of Georgia (QAG) where I'm currently overseeing the production and publication of an animal anthology.

I've been a speaker at spiritual retreats for women as well as writing seminars. Other publications include inspirational non-fiction in collections such as Life Savors, Living the Serenity Prayer, and Cup of Comfort Devotionals for Mothers and Daughters.

Interests

I love nature and being outdoors. This includes gardening, hiking and wildlife as well as the animals that make their home with me. I also enjoy history, and am fascinated with biblical history and sorting out fact from fiction including the more recent philosophies and traditions. Life is also a culinary journey as I strive to find the path that is healthy but tastes good and ways to exercise that aren't boring. Of course, I enjoy reading and writing and the creative process that lets me share my experiences and imagination with others. I hope you enjoy my articles. If you do, take the time to let me know.
