Rona D.
Rona D. Drinkard (Rona D.) is a project manager by day and an award-winning author writer by night. She received her Bachelors in Psychology from Daemen College and her Masters in Human Services Administration from the SUNY Buffalo State College. It’s no surprise that with her educational background, she has worked in almost every field that serves people both young and old.
Although Rona writes fiction novels that focus on family, love and friendship, her primary preference for reading and or watching television, is sci-fi. It allows her to focus on things outside of her day-to-day and experience the unimaginable. Her favorite author is Octavia E. Butler, who was the first black science fiction writer Rona encountered over 20 years ago. The first novel she read of hers was Kindred. She still raves about that book to this day. Rona decided that once she finished Kindred, she'd read every book Ms. Butler had written. Well that she did, even Lilith's Brood. Since then, she's been introduced to and developed a love for Author Tananarive Due as well. Shocked that Rona truly has a love for sci-fi? Don't believe it? I suggest that whenever you have a chance to chat with her, just ask about the tv series Lovecraft Country. She will give you an earful.
Outside of reading and writing, Rona loves coffee (Tim Horton's), wine (newly acquired taste), event planning (nicknamed "team too much"), singing (RBC 4 Life), traveling (as often as possible), socializing (loves to host and attend), and creating (addicted to her Cricuit machine). Additionally, she enjoys watching tennis, boxing, basketball, and football (proud Buffalo Bills fan) with her husband (a NY Giants fan). You can just imagine the atmosphere in the Drinkard's home when these two teams meet.
Rona currently resides in Maryland with her husband, Haashim, daughter Nylah and granddaughter Layla. You can connect with Rona D. by following her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.
