Author Interview

In the year 2018, Donna M. Zadunajsky has learned to accept things the way they are and not stress over them. The author still works at a Veterinary four days a week and writes 3-4 hours every day but Saturday. She enjoys reading and watching TV. Donna loves writing a series. When she was young, she had always wanted to be a school teacher. Children’s book to her are harder to write. She reads a lot of books, so she tries not to have any of her books relate to their plot. Currently, she is working on a YA series. She finished Book 1 and 2 and now working on Book 3. Read full interview...

5.0 out of 5 starsSix degrees of separation

December 23, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

This was a great story by an author I haven't read before.
You meet Ben and Kaitlyn and immediately know that something isn't right in their marriage.
These two lives interact with several others, all of whom are involved in some way in a massive accident on the Ohio Turnpike.
The story weaves a web of how each of these people is affected by Ben's attitude.
I enjoyed this author and look forward to reading another story.

Format: Kindle Edition

There are several stories here and although initially, I thought it was going to be too much, it somehow blended in well.

We have Adanya an officer of the law. Her story is separate. We have Kaitlyn whose story is quite separate. Kaitlyn is married and on the surface, everything seems fine. Her husband is a twisted abusive who has no qualms about hitting her at every turn, even in the past to force a miscarriage.

Adanya has a heavy secret. When she was a teenager she had a baby, she gave the baby away for adoption, a decision tinged with deep regret and sadness.

Kaitlyn had a great love in Adam who went to Afghanistan and then she got involved with her husband to her deep regret. Now that she has conceived again, she is determined to run away, create a new identity and bring up this baby alone. All that changes when a grievous accident affects the lives of all of the above.

In twists and turns, some plausible, some slightly not we are taken into the next step of both Adanya and Kaitlyn's lives - thank goodness for the better and happier.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Is One Intense Story

December 20, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

One horrific accident will change the lives of five people in this epic story. Kaitlyn and Adam were in love back in college and planned to have a life together. Ben, on the other hand, wanted Kaitlyn for himself and plotted to break them apart. It didn't take much since Adam was on his way to Afghanistan to fight in the war. Through dear John letters he wrote on behalf of the other he flawlessly broke them apart and married Kaitlyn and her nightmare began. Moore is one of the officers that was called to the scene and Leah was a nurse working at the hospital. Moore found a man trapped under one of the cars and with the help of firefighters got him to safety. She found a wallet and thinking that it belonged to the man pulled from the wreckage, called Kaitlyn informing her of the car pile up on the expressway and to come to Ohio. When Leah makes a mistake with one of the patients from the crash, lives will be changed and loved ones restored. This is an amazing story that will have you on one emotional rollercoaster as you peel back the layers of the story as it unfolds before you.

THE ACCIDENT

NEW BOOK COMING OUT ON OCT 31st. 

Officer Adayna Moore arrived at the scene of the accident on the Ohio Turnpike on a rainy Friday morning, unaware that saving one man from the wreckage would alter her life and the past she had tried so hard to leave behind. 

Leah James started her day the same way every day at Franklin Hospital, but on the morning of the accident, Leah’s life took on a different path. The questions of her childhood that have haunted her are answered when she goes searching for the family of a brain-dead man from the accident.

Kaitlyn Gordon had lost the love of her life, Adam Tucker, when he left and went to war in Afghanistan, never to hear from him again. A year later, she met Ben Gordon and thought life had given her a second chance at love. After they graduated from college Kaitlyn and Ben were married. But, after three months of marriage, she wanted nothing more than to escape from her abusive husband, who has threatened to kill her if she ever left him.

One accident will change the lives of five people forever…

NEW NOVEL

Hello Everyone,

I've been working on my next novel titled THE ACCIDENT so far around 80,000 words. Finished the 1st draft and placed it aside for awhile. They say that you should start a new project and let your work sit so I'm finishing up a writing project I started last year. It's a young adult novel titled THE DEAD GIRL UNDER THE BLEACHERS. Catchy isn't it? 

People ask me how I come up with my stories and this particular story came to me when I was driving and was passing a football field and I saw the bleachers. Instantly, the images of the story came to me with a body lying under them in the pouring rain. I won't tell you any more than that.

News about my other books: They are all now available in hardcover and you can also get them in audiobook format at http://www.audible.com.

HAPPY READING!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

FAMILY SECRETS 'Secrets and Second Chances' Book 1 just hits beneath the surface of breast cancer. I wrote this novel dedicated to my dear friend, Ellen Meade, who was like a second mom to me. She sat down and told me about what she went through with her breast cancer. Ellen was able to beat breast cancer, but sadly enough she died many years later from Pancreatic cancer.

FAMILY SECRETS will take you into the characters life of Alexis and Colton Finley. A story of love and forgiveness. Learning how to mend old wounds and make new memories and find new friends.  Tissues may be needed.
