About Donna Grant
Donna Grant is the award winning author of more than twenty novels spanning multiple genres of romance – Scottish Medieval, historical, dark fantasy, time travel, paranormal and erotic.
Donna was born and raised in Texas but loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her throughout the United States as well as to Jamaica and Mexico. Growing up on the Texas/Louisiana border, Donna's Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin' and bareback riding.
Her childhood dream was to become a professional ballet dancer and study under the amazing Mikhail Baryshnikov. Though she never got to meet Baryshnikov, she did make it to New York City and performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Later, Donna’s love of the romance genre and the constant stories running through her head prompted her to sit down and write her first book. Once that book was completed, there was no turning back.
Donna sold her first book in November 2005 while displaced from Hurricane Rita, a storm that destroyed portions of the Texas Gulf Coast. Since then, Donna has sold novels and novellas to both electronic and print publishers. Her books include several complete series such as The Druid’s Glen, The Shields, and The Royal Chronicles.
Despite the deadlines and her voracious reading, Donna still manages to keep up with her two young children, three cats and one long-haired Chihuahua. She's blessed with a proud, supportive husband who's learned to cook far more than frozen chicken nuggets.

An Interview with Donna Grant
By Katie Raines for The Romance Studio
KR: Donna, thank you for talking with us at TRS BLUE. Please tell us about your featured book, The Pleasure of his BedDG: THE PLEASURE OF HIS BED is an anthology with Kensington Aphrodisia feature three stories that prove how delicious complete surrender is.
My novella, TIES THAT BIND, is about a lustful, dominating queen has the tables turned on her when she’s sold as a sex slave to the very man she was supposed to marry.
Queen Jarina never imagined that the foul play which brought her to the enemy kingdom of Pereth would also make her a willing love slave, eager to fulfill her master's every desire. Now Jarina's only wish is to satisfy her master's insatiable appetite...
KR: Your heroine is a queen who ends up being sold as a sex slave to the man she was to marry. Where did you get the idea for this amazing story? DG: lol. I don't really know. It was my first try at an erotic story. I've always written fairly spicy, so I didn't think it would be a huge step for me. However, I knew I wanted the story to have an incredibly strong heroine. I saw my heroine, Jarina, immediately, and I knew she wasn't from a world I knew. So I started writing in this fantasy world where there were no boundaries. Where anything was possible.
KR: What do you like best about Jarina? DG: Her strength and her will to fight for her people no matter what. She also recognizes her mate in Kyros, and despite the war that has divided their kingdom, there is a future of peace.
KR: This story is being released by Kensington. How did you find out your first sold to them? DG: A phone call from my then agent. I was in shock and didn't believe them at the time. I could have danced on the ceiling I was so thrilled. I called everyone I knew to let them know. :)
KR: How did you celebrate? DG: My husband brought home a bottle of champagne, and after a glass, the entire family went out to dinner. It was wonderful!
KR: What can you tell us about the forthcoming Mutual Desire?
DG: I'm thrilled about my May 2009 release, Mutual Desire. Its a collection of three historical erotic novellas. None of them are connected other than each features a gem stone of some sort. There's a story set in the wilds of the Amazon, one Medieval Scotland, and one in the fantasy world we get a glimpse of in The Pleasure of His Bed.
KR: You've been a traveler, a dancer, a web designer. Do any of these experiences play into your writing?
DG: I think every instance in a person's life comes into play when they're writing. I've taken my experience at a Sandal's resort in Jamaica and put it in a book. I even have an idea I've been playing with for some time about one of my heroine's being a professional ballerina.
KR: What does your family think of your writing? DG: My family is very supportive. My husband reads all my work, my kids tell everyone they can as do my parents. Even my brother who doesn't read romance pushes my books, and has earned me quite a few sales.
KR: What goals have you set for yourself at this point? DG: Besides sell more books to Kensington? :)
My goals are continue writing and selling more books. One day I'd like to hit the Waldenbooks, USA Today or New York Times Bestsellers lists.
KR: What's your favorite way to interact with readers? DG:I love meeting readers at a signing. There's nothing like some face-to-face time with a person who reads your stories. However, I interact with readers on a daily basis on MySpace and Facebook as well as my blog where I post my weekly Question of the Weeks on Wednesday. I also love getting reader emails.
KR: Thank you!
