Ask an Author Week #7: Donna Alward

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Donna Alward: I’d like to have dinner with Jane Austen, the Brontes, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. They were true trailblazers as women and romantic authors. But in present day – I’d love to meet LaVyrle Spencer. I developed my love of romance novels from reading her books, I have them all and have read them so many times some of them are falling apart. I re-read her final novel, Then Came Heaven, last year, and seriously if I could write one book that fantastic, emotional, and beautiful before I die I think I will have achieved something great.
