Recent reviews of Beyond the Fifth Gate:
"Beyond the Fifth Gate is exciting all the way through! It's a beautiful story of trust, love, hate, faith, respect, fear, courage, and acceptance. The mystical gates and the ways characters make their entrances into each world are so unique, as are the battles fought and friendships forged. I loved it. Each world is fascinating and filled with strange yet believable characters." ~ Author L. Russomanno"I was impressed with how Donna Sunblad has woven a tale that gets into the mind, the fear and courage of this young heroine, Elita. The plot is solid and the atmosphere is painted perfectly by this fine author.
"In this world that often keeps us so busy that we scarcely have time to breathe, it is wonderful to sit down and read a book that takes us out of this world and into another, a world that is in dire need of "Chosen One" to lead us out of despair. I know you'll love this story and I hope you will get a copy and read it to the end!" ~ Author Steven Clark Bradley

Pumping Your Muse!
"I read what I could of Pumping Your Muse on the website! Can't wait to get a copy; it's full of fresh ideas and inspiration. I've always not been observant - of people, yes - of my surroundings, no. Your book teaches that! I can't wait to see what else is hiding within its cover." ~Vickie~
"You may be interested to know that I teach two courses, one for 7th and one for 8th graders. The 7th grade class is called, "Writers Workshop." Though our primary focus has been on grammar, my aim is to change the balance to emphasize writing. For the 8th graders constructing research papers, a skill which is of course important. But through your book and our recent conference, I've learned how much research is emphasized for the writer of fiction. This is my second year teaching these classes (though I've been in the field now for 10 years), and the greatest challenge is to keep students motivated to write. Quite frankly, they seem more interested in writing fiction than in expository forms. And now that I realize how important the research component is to the successful writer of fiction, I feel like I can offer my students the opportunity to explore both expository and narrative forms." ~Warren Akin~
