About Donna

Meet the woman who brought me to life…

Donna Fletcher is a USA Today Bestselling Author who began her career more than thirty years ago in traditional publishing, writing for three major New York houses. With over fifty books to her name—most of them Scottish historical romances filled with passion, adventure, and mystery—she eventually moved into Indie publishing, where her creativity could roam freely.

Donna has always loved weaving romance and mystery together, so it was only a matter of time before she blended her two favorite genres with a generous dash of humor. And that’s where I arrived—Pepper the prepper. Born from Donna’s fascination with preparedness (shaped in part by her experience during Hurricane Sandy), I became the spark for a series filled with small-town chaos, unexpected clues, and one very irresistible Highlander cover model.

Like me, Donna has a soft spot for animals. She shares her life with Cree, her brilliant and loyal German shepherd (named after one of her favorite heroes), and Sweetie, the stray cat who decided Donna’s property was the perfect place to call home. Sweetie has her own little house—courtesy of Donna’s son—so she stays safe and cozy when Cree is on patrol.

Donna makes her home on the Jersey Shore in a charming old Cape Cod she happily renovates in between writing, spending time with her family (she’s a twin!), gardening, collecting vintage cookbooks, exploring secondhand shops, and getting lost in old movies and good stories. Bookstores, flea markets, thrift shops—you name it—Donna can wander them for hours.

Now that you know the woman behind my adventures, it’s time to meet me.

Grab the first book in the series, Pepper, the Highlander & the Dead Guy, and come visit everyone in Willow Lake, PA. I promise you’ll feel right at home.
