In a Nutshell

Jennifer R. Donohue: I've been writing a very long time, from when I made up Ghostbusters episodes when I was little and recorded them on my dad's boom box to now, submitting short stories to professional markets and querying a novel. I hand wrote a very bad fantasy novel in high school; it will never see the light of day. My degree is in psychology, and I work at my local library. My pictured Doberman, Elka, recently passed away, and my husband and I now have a Doberman named Ulrike. You can email me at Jennifer.rDonohue@gmail.com
