Donna Del Oro

Donna Del Oro's dream since childhood (when she used to create her own comic books and share them with her friends) has been to write fiction. Escaping the humdrum of ordinary life always seemed to her an ideal form of self-entertainment. Better than TV and even better than some books! As soon as she retired from high school teaching (which was a suspenseful adventure in itself), Donna turned to fiction writing. Becoming a member of the RWA and Sisters in Crime has helped her to learn the craft and focus on what she needed to do to get published.

Donna writes romantic suspense and thrillers. Her latest release, SAVING LA FAMILIA, recently won THE 2022 SILVER FALCHION AWARD FOR BEST COMEDY-SUSPENSE at the KILLER NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE in Nashville, Tennessee, August 18-21, 2022! WHAT A THRILL AND HONOR!

Her latest SMART ROMANTIC THRILLERS-- THE DELPHI BLOODLINE series includes ATHENA'S SECRETS, ATHENA'S FEARS, ATHENA'S DILEMMA. This series is available in a discounted bundle form.

THE DELPHI BLOODLINE is a hybrid thriller about a clairvoyant artist, Athena Butler, who is recruited by homicide detectives into helping them solve the most heinous of crimes. Although warned to keep her clairvoyant gifts a secret, Athena reluctantly aids a variety of detectives to sift out the murderers from the crowd. In doing so, she risks exposing herself to danger and ruthless exploiters of her powers.

A new FBI series is coming! UNDERCOVER LIES will be Book One. This exciting suspense novel takes place in present-day England, Ireland and Germany with echoes back to WW II. A Jewish-American FBI agent goes undercover to investigate an elderly, naturalized American grandmother who's suspected of being a notorious Nazi spy never caught by the Allies.

Donna and husband Joe love to travel and play golf, and their favorite vacation is one that combines both. Donna loves to research by putting "boots on the ground". Walking the roads of her characters adds the degree of verisimilitude that she strives for in her novels.
