Bio
Dana LaShay lives and breathes words. She has been reading since she was three with one of her earliest books being Corduroy. Her love of reading eventually developed into a love of storytelling. Her flash fiction “Trapped” was published in the March edition of The Scarlet Leaf Review and she published her first collection of stories titled UNLOADED in July 2020.
Time not spent writing is spent attending to her son, their three dogs and their cat, watching horror films or Disney, or curled up reading a good book. She has also been known to play a video game or two - usually first-person shooters or role-play games.
​
Some of her favorite authors include Rick Riordan, Cassandra Clare, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Brandon Mull.
