I love history. I'm usually always on the computer/email. So much so that my family makes sure I get out at least once a day so I don't become permanently adhered to my chair.
Music
I have a varied taste in music. I love Godsmack, but then I have to have my 80s music, my dance music and then my music that I write to.
Movies
I love movies. Just as with reading, it helps to take me away from reality for a bit, and also, it helps spark ideas for new books.
Mostly I love historical movies. The LOTR trilogy is one of my all time favorites. As is King Arthur, Robin Hood, Ever After, A Knights Tale, and many, many more.
Television
Unfortunately, I watch too much TV. I have lots of a favorites:
Supernatural
Bones
Doctor Who
Torchwood
BBC's Robin Hood
Lost
CSI: (the original)
Numbers
Sara Connor Chronicles
and my new favorite...Burn Notice!
See? Too much TV. :)
Books
Anything romance. My favorite genre is historical and historical/fantasy or historical/paranormal.
I have so many favorites that I couldn't possibly list them all, but here are a few:
Shana Abe
Johanna Lindsey
Julie Garwood
Susanne Enoch
Karen Marie Moning
Catherine Coulter
Stephanie Laurens
About me: Donna Grant is the award winning author of more than twenty novels spanning multiple genres of romance – Scottish Medieval, historical, dark fantasy, time travel, paranormal and erotic.
Donna was born and raised in Texas but loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her throughout the United States as well as to Jamaica and Mexico. Growing up on the Texas/Louisiana border, Donna's Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin' and bareback riding.
Her childhood dream was to become a professional ballet dancer and study under the amazing Mikhail Baryshnikov. Though she never got to meet Baryshnikov, she did make it to New York City and performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Later, Donna’s love of the romance genre and the constant stories running through her head prompted her to sit down and write her first book. Once that book was completed, there was no turning back.
Donna sold her first book in November 2005 while displaced from Hurricane Rita, a storm that destroyed portions of the Texas Gulf Coast. Since then, Donna has sold novels and novellas to both electronic and print publishers. Her books include several complete series such as The Druid’s Glen, The Shields, The Royal Chronicles and the Sisters of Magic.
Despite the deadlines and her voracious reading, Donna still manages to keep up with her two young children, three cats and one long haired Chihuahua. She's blessed with a proud, supportive husband who's learned to cook far more than frozen chicken nuggets.
