From the time Danielle could hold a pen, she has written. On the bunk-bed in pink texta, the vowels in her name backwards; storybooks stapled together with coloured paper; diaries with and without mini padlocks; social articles for the university newspaper; all finally culminating into novel-writing. Her debut YA novel, Friendship on Fire, was published in 2011. Her second, a YA/NA crossover called Reckless, was published in 2013. Danielle lives in Perth, Western Australia, with her non-vampire husband Edward, naughty toddler Ezra and rejected ranga cat, Ginger.
