Dayna
Dunbar is a native Oklahoman who currently makes her
home in Los Angeles. She has written screenplays and was
part of the production team for the 1996 film William
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She has a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Media Communications from the College of
Santa Fe in New Mexico and a Master's degree in
Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica
in California.
When asked whether her first novel is autobiographical,
she says, 'it is somewhat autobiographical in that I
have taken aspects of my life, such as small town life
and the characters that one finds there, and I've woven
this with fictional situations and people. My parents
divorced when I was a child, and this made it pretty
easy to write about the kids and their experiences in a
broken home.'
She is currently writing a sequel which begins shortly
after the end of the first novel and takes Aletta on a
long journey of self-discovery.
