Holidays are approaching!

I can't believe how fast the year has gone and we're only a month away from Christmas. Black Friday is creeping up on us and it's a day where I stay away from the stores. I know, I know. That's when I should go shopping, but I hate crowds. I hate standing in line to checkout for more than 10 minutes. 

So, I'm one of those shoppers that love to shop all year long for presents. In fact, I only have one person left to shop for and that's my daughter, who technically, doesn't need anything, but I can't let her wake up and have no presents under the tree. It's hard to buy for a 15-year-old.

Now, with that said, you can head over to my bookstore for some early holiday shopping. I am taking 25% off all books. These are paperback books only, I don't have any control over the price of my ebooks. If you are interested in having a book autographed by me, just send me an email and I will sign it for you or that special someone on your Christmas list.

I also have a shop on ETSY with items I have made and my books if you're interested in buying them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, loving, and safe Family gathering with plenty of food to fill your belly's.


HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!

TALK TO ME- book trailer







Crowded halls filled with noisy teenagers.
Teachers, homework, and never ending tests.
Hanging with friends, dating boys, gossip, and preparing for the future.
Isn’t that what high school is supposed to be all about?

Carly Boyles was once popular and dated the Captain of the football team. She wanted to be like any other fifteen-year-old teenage girl at Lakeport Central High School, but Taylor Ryans changed everything.
Two weeks after their break-up, Carly can’t find a reason to live after she finds her best friend Staci Garrison; hanging all over her ex-boyfriend Taylor Ryans. Carly decides to take matters into her own hands, but is it more than just the break-up that has her world falling apart?
The rules no longer apply between two best friends when a boy comes between their once forever-friendship since elementary school. One phone message changes everything and Carly’s world is shattered to pieces.
Will she find a reason to live? Will she tell the one secret that is killing her from the inside out?

Talk To Me is a gripping tale of one girl’s life that will never be the

same again…

She receives a call from the police. Both her sister and her son are in hospital, critically injured in a car accident.
Sitting with her unconscious son, Deanna meets the doctor. Recognition flashes through her mind. There is something uncannily familiar about her. Could the doctor be her daughter? But she died minutes after her birth – or so she had been told?
An old friend is murdered and Deanna receives a note telling her to leave or she will suffer the same fate. What transpired all those years ago? And who is the mysterious woman she glimpses as she drives by her sister’s house?
Will Deanna ever allow herself to be loved and let go of the past? Or will her search for the answers lead to her death?

Author Interview by Eleonor G



CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO READ WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MY LATEST BOOK AND ABOUT WRITING.


https://eleonorrae.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/roman-a-clef-at-play-an-interview-with-author-donna-m-zadunajsky/




Carla Michaels’s life isn't what she thought it was. She met her loving husband in college. She had a career as a teacher. All she ever wanted to complete her life was a baby. After five miscarriages, Carla had almost given up hope of ever becoming a mother.
Then a devastating tragedy strikes and everything she had ever loved is gone—now she’s left torn and shattered, wondering if she can go on with life.
Unexpectedly, she receives an envelope full of books. Journals that were kept hidden from her. A mystery starts to play out as secrets are revealed.
Will she get a second chance at life? Will the hidden secrets destroy her?  Or will she find the strength to survive once she knows the truth?


 “Hidden Secrets” will pull at your heartstrings until the very last page. Some secrets are not meant to be hidden…
