- Donna Jonas Milner, who has been referred to as the, 'Oh, so Canadian author,' was born in Victoria British Columbia and grew up in South Vancouver. As a young woman she relocated to a small town in the West Kootenays where she married and started a family. In 1972 she settled in the central interior of British Columbia and has resided there since. It wasn't until after she had raised four children and retired from a 25 year career in Real Estate that she pursued her secret passion for writing. Her debut novel AFTER RIVER, was picked out of the slush pile at Gregory & Co Agency, and subsequently sold and published in twelve countries. It has been translated into six different languages, and made into an audio book.
Milner makes no apologies for using the British Columbia locations where she has lived as inspiration for the settings of her novels. It is no secret that the town of Rossland where she resided for seven years, was the prototype for the border town of Atwood in AFTER RIVER, and in her new novel, THE PROMISE OF RAIN, her childhood home in a Fraserview subdivision of 'wartime houses' served as the backdrop for the Vancouver scenes.
Milner and her husband now live north of Williams Lake, off the grid in an eco friendly timber frame home. And of course, she admits, she is using a similar isolated setting on a pristine lake as the location of her third novel, which she is currently at work on.

Entonces, ella vivía en la granja familiar con sus padres y sus cuatro hermanos varones. Pero un caluroso día de julio, al entrar el joven River por primera vez en su jardín, comprendió que todo cambiaría. River, que representaba un mundo libre de conservadurismos opuestos a lo que había vivido hasta entonces, entró a trabajar en la granja y se ganó en poco tiempo el cariño de la familia y especialmente la admiración de Natalie. Pero, a partir de ese momento, también se empezó a tambalear su estable vida familiar.… (altro)
