Although born in New York City, where she spent most of her life, Donovan has lived in six states and visited most of the others. She earned her MA in English at Northern Arizona University. In one way or another, she’s been writing her entire life, whether it was imaginative stories for friends, or advertising copy for industrial clients.

But she never felt her stories were “good enough” to be published. At the persistent urging of her late husband, she finally agreed to seriously edit and revise one of them and take the plunge. Although accepted for publication, the publishing company folded before the book went to print. However, this gave her the courage to pursue her dream of becoming a published author.

Years later, her persistence paid off and her first novel, Promises, a historical fiction was published, on July 1, 2019 from Waldorf Publishing. She is also a contributing essayist to Pawesome Friends, released May 2019

She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York and is a member of Authors Guild, SCBWI, Women’s National Book Association, and The Historical Novel Society.
