Dana Wayne fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a published author in 2016 at the age of sixty-six. She has self-published eight highly regarded and award-winning novels, as well as a cookbook. Among her work's honors are several international awards, including the prestigious Best Indie Book Award, Bronze Medal from Reader's Favorite, the International Book Impact Award, Page Turner Award,  Best In Texas,  American Legacy Book Award, Pinnacle Book Award, and a Semi-Finalist Kindle eBook Award. A sought-after speaker and frequent guest on various writing blogs, she's a die-hard romantic whose heart-warming stories are filled with strong women, second chances, and happily ever after.
