Dana Wayne

Dana Wayne fulfilled a lifelong dream to be a published author in the summer of 2016 with the publication of her first novel, Secrets of the Heart, which went on to win first place in a statewide contest. Since then, she has self-published a popular cookbook and six well-received romance novels and garnered several awards including the prestigious Best Indie Book Award 2021, the 2022 Readers Favorite Bronze Award, as well as several first and second-place awards and award nominations. In 2020, she began a podcast, A Writer's Life, where she hopes to inspire and encourage other writers to achieve their dream of publication.
She is a sixth-generation Texan and still resides in the Piney Woods. A sought-after speaker, she is a frequent guest on numerous writing blogs. A die-hard romantic, her heart-warming stories are filled with strong women, second chances, and happily ever after.

When she isn’t writing or spending time with family, she is an avid crafter, especially Christmas-related items, her favorite being tabletop Christmas trees, a craft she learned from her mother.

I was disappointed when it ended on page 10...I felt as if I was there...the imagery, the depth of character evident from the first word...everything in perfect balance to set up the rest of the narrative.

I don't generally like historical romance, and one reason is because of the way they treated women. But I love Bea!
