Dana George

Dana George became a traditionally published author for the first time in 2004. It is her eye for historical detail and regional ambiance that has attracted new readers.

As the daughter of history buffs, George spent a great deal of her childhood visiting historical sites. While other families traveled to Disneyland, hers headed to Gettysburg or some obscure 19th century homestead. It was impossible for George to stand in the spot where a battle once raged, treaty was signed, or everyday people lived a hardscrabble life without feeling their essence.

Being ever-so-practical, she graduated from college with a degree in business. Still, George kept her hand in history and the paranormal by writing about them and by dragging her own children to long-forgotten ghost towns and sometimes-stuffy presidential libraries. Her hope was that her sons would learn that history is never about the place, but about the people who once lived there.

She is married to the sweet guy she first met in high school history class. In addition to two sons, they have two amazing daughters-in-law and a dreamy granddaughter.
