CIDER HOUSE RULES

"Sometimes you gotta break some rules to set things right."

Ludwig van Beethoven

“Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.”

About Me

Hey, I'm Donna. I'll read anything if I'm bored; but mostly read in adult fantasy, horror/thriller, commercial/women's fiction, well written erotica. I write in those same genre's. I'm not as sexy as I pretend, but I'm far from naive. I have kids, ex husbands, and like cats.

2016 GOAL QUOTES

Take a chance this year. Try something that terrifies you. Get out and live to your fullest potential. - - Crystal Collier

2015 WRITING GOAL

In 2015, don’t let your need for perfection turn to obsession. Don’t be held captive in your comfort zone. Be brave. Take risks. Turn your vision into reality. If you make a mistake, so be it. Learn from the misstep and move on.
--VR BARKOWSKI
