Donna Marie Seim
Donna is a graduate of The Ohio State University and holds a master's degree in Special Education from Lesley University. Donna's love of children and children's literature has played an integral role in her life. Her many years working as a childcare worker and special needs teacher were richly rewarding ones. In 1982, Donna and her husband Martin opened a specialty toy store, The Dragon's Nest. The store is now owned and operated by their daughter Kristin.
In her first book, Fifty Cents an Hour, she tells her many humorous childhood stories of growing up, Irish Catholic, in Cleveland, Ohio. Donna has just completed her first novel for children ages 8 to 12, Hurricane Mia, and is working on her second, Charley.
In, Where is Simon, Sandy? Donna brings to print a folktale that has been passed down by word of mouth for generations. The story of a little donkey that wouldn't quit brings to life the charm of the Turks and Caicos Islands and its people. Donna fell in love with these beautiful islands on her first visit over thirty-three years ago. She and her husband travel often to Grand Turk having lovingly restored an island house, with a tin roof to catch the rain!
