Dakota Banks

A pseudonym used by Shirley Kennett.

I have to believe that growing up in a converted turn-of-the-century funeral home, complete with blood gutters and a drain in the basement floor, warped my mind.

I set aside all those macabre thoughts spawned by reading books in the basement at night with a flashlight and undertook a relatively normal life. College, science fiction, husband, computers, Star Trek, mortgage, fantasy, Star Wars, kids, mysteries, writing, thrillers, horror, and cats. I'm not sure in which order all those things happened, but I haven't killed off enough gray cells yet that I've forgotten any of them. That brings me up to now, or at least the last decade.

I wrote short stories in high school and college, submitted them, and got

Diana Aleksandrova

I was born and raised in the historical capital of Bulgaria, a charming old town where houses sit perched on a hill above a river. After graduating from college, I moved across the ocean in pursuit of the American dream. Little did I know that my dream did not reside in a certain country or even a continent but was all along within me.
It took me a while to start doing what gives me joy; creating stories that make kids and grown-ups, alike, open their minds to the impossible, marvel or laugh.
Books are our tickets to adventures. They let us discover and explore fascinating places, and join charming heroes, crooked villains, and magical creatures through unforgettable journeys.
