Featured Interview With Donna Markiewicz
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a writer, a blogger and an entrepreneur. I also like to design WordPress sites. I studied at the Art Institute at Pittsburgh Online for a degree in Interactive Media and then later at the International Academy of Design and Technology Online for a degree in Web Development. I am a computer geek who loves how to books and historical time travel novels that start in the past and wind up in the present.
I have now entered the exciting world of self-publishing by releasing my first book. It is a very personal story that was difficult for me to write. I have several more books planned for the near future. So be sure to watch for new listings.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have had a love of books every since I was a child. It was always my understanding that getting accepted by a publisher is difficult. But now with self-publishing it is possible to pursue my interest in writing.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love Nora Roberts books.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is the story of how an EF5 tornado struck the city of Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011 trapping my dog, Edie and I in our home to ride out the storm. We wound up on the street that day with nowhere to go eventually making it to a shelter. This is a personal account of what we experienced during that horrific event and the days that followed.
