Rebecca Flanders
Bestselling author Donna Ball is a working writer who has published over one hundred works of commercial fiction under a variety of pseudonyms that include Rebecca Flanders, Donna Carlisle, Leigh Bristol, Taylor Brady, and Donna Boyd.
Although she has published in the genres of romance, historical fiction, western adventure, and supernatural fantasy, she is best known today for her work in women’s fiction, mystery and suspense. Her novels have been translated into well over a dozen languages and have been published in virtually every country in the world. She has appeared on Entertainment Tonight and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, and has been featured in such publications as the Detroit Free Press, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, and even T.V. Guide. She is the holder of the Dog Writers Association of America Best Fiction Book of the Year, 2017, Storytelling World award, 2001, the Georgia Author of the Year Award, 2000, Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Awards for consecutive years 1991-1996, the Georgia Romance Writer’s Maggie Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from Romantic Times, among others.
She began her career in traditional publishing at a time when there were over twenty active publishers in New York, and she had the experience of writing for almost all of them. As the publishing industry changed, she adapted her efforts to include both traditionally published and self-published books, and has enjoyed tremendous success in both venues. Her most popular series are the award-winning Raine Stockton Dog Mystery series, the Dogleg Island Mystery series, The Hummingbird House series, and the Ladybug Farm series. All are available now in paperback in bookstores everywhere, as audiobook downloads, and in digital format for your e-reader.
When she’s not writing, there’s nothing Donna enjoys more than teaching writing.
