Doranna Durgin
Newest Release
Doranna Durgin spent her cchildhood filling notebooks first with stories and art, and then with novels.
after obtaining a degree in wildlife illustration and environmental education, she spent many years deep in the Appalachian Mountains. When she emerged, it was as a writer who found herself irrevocably tied to the natural world and its creatures--and with a new touchstone to the rugged spirit taht helped settle the area and which she instills in her characters.
Doranna's first published fantasy novel received the 1995 Compton Crook/StephenTall award for the best first book in the fantasy, science fiction and horror genres. Most recently she's leaped gleefully into the world of action-romance. When she's not writing, Doranna builds web pages, wanders around outside with a camera and works with horses and dogs. There's a Lipizzan in her backyard, a mountain looming outside her office window, a pack of agility dogs romping in the house and a laptop sitting on her desk--and that's just the way she likes it. Her website is: www,doranna.net.
