Hi, I’m Dana.
It’s time to make that change…
Let’s do it!
“You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.”
Some fun facts about me…
I’m a total Florida girl of the rustic kayaking, fishing, windsurfing variety. Stick me in a bay with a net and bucket and I’m happy as a clam.
I started a publishing company with a random person I met on a plane and published several successful books about how to make money selling on Amazon.
I’ve been running since I was a teenager and just before COVID, ran two half-marathons in two days (so kind of a marathon?) Updated: I ran a marathon Dec. 2024! Whew. Glad I did it but never again!
I once came face to face with a black bear in my tent and followed him to see what had attracted him to our campsite. Interesting fact - even bears turn their noses up at Dinty Moore Beef Stew.
At one time in my life I’ve played piano, saxophone, oboe, guitar, and violin but none of them very well.
My hero as a kid was Indiana Jones.
We recently brought in a new addition to the family. A Moyen Poodle we call Peachy-Poo!
I’ve written two novels that I immediately placed in a drawer and forgot about.
