Donnalyn Vojta
I have a B.A. (cum laude) from North Central College in Naperville, IL, with a major in Humanities (Philosophy emphasis) and a minor in Literature. I also have a Juris Doctorate from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, IL. I practiced law as a litigation and real estate transactions attorney for over 13 years but then quit that career to do something that makes me happy.
Thus, here I am, writing novels and screenplays. I love it! Both of the first volumes of my unique thriller were launched over five years ago, but due to poor publisher editing, I stopped selling them. BUT NOW, they are back! I couldn't keep them to myself after all of the excellent ratings and reviews that, I must say, warm my heart. HOPE IN PARIS! (Vol. I) and CHLOE'

Above all things, I am a mood writer. I love jumping from genre to genre, trying out different tenses and POVs, and pushing my writing outside of my comfort zone.
After self-publishing my debut novel SLICE in 2023 (a horror/thriller), I knew I wanted to write full-time. So, I opened up my laptop and got to work. The only problem? I was stuck between two ideas: a new horror novel, and the fantasy novel I couldn't get out of my head. So, I figured—why not write both?
Thus, my life as a mood writer was born.
My goal for writing is the same reason that I read: to feel. Whether you’re internally screaming at a character’s stupidity, gasping at a plot twist, or blushing at steamy banter, I want it all. Fall into a story and let it con -
