Donna Ison is an author, blogger, playwright and career voluptuary. She has published two novels, "The Miracle of Myrtle: Saint Gone Wild" and "Flirtini with Disaster: The Single Girl’s Guide to Self-Sabotage." Recently, she left her "big girl" job as the editor of skirt! magazine Lexington and moved to a local lake where she took up the mantle of Shanty Boat Queen. Donna now lives full time on a pair of houseboats named Lakematized and The Muse with her husband, two dogs, and two cats. Her next work, "Hemlock Holler," a paranormal humor novel, will be available in May 2014. She also serves as a playwright for Bluegrass Mystery Theatre and develops historical drama for museums nationwide. Donna is a founding member of The Sisters Provocateur. When not writing, she hosts all day champagne brunches; tap dances on the dock; argues politics & religion; and makes sure the Bluegrass State keeps its bourbon up to par.
