From Dayna…

I run this website to share my writing and to help writers in their processes.

Aside from my profession, I am a wife, mother, crazy cat lady and bookworm. My husband John owns and operates a landscaping company. Our daughters are fighters of the best kind. One graduated during the pandemic and is working on her photography portfolio. The older daughter is an early childhood educator outside Boston. We generally spend our time chasing our dreams, playing games, doing Legos, and swimming when the weather allows. My book of poetry Shadow Eater: A Recollection is out now and is available on Amazon. Thanks for reading :)
