Danielle Burns

Bio

Reading and writing have always been my passions but it wasn’t until my three kids finally flew the nest that I gave my art the attention it had always craved. Since then, I’ve published a few short stories, some non fiction articles, two historical tomes and a number of biographies. I’m currently living aboard our 47′ catamaran cruising around the gorgeous Queensland coastline so my writing focus has recently switched to blogging about our adventures and collecting stories from the sailing community.

Genre

General Fiction, Biographical, YA, Kids Books, Short Stories

I'm writing a travel blog and sharpening up some short fiction before submitting to competitions.

What are your long term goals?

Eventually, I hope to complete an MG novel that I've been working on for many years but right now I'm taking time out to sharpen up some short stories for competitions

What is your writing regime?

My life as a deckhand keeps me pretty busy but I keep a daily journal and try to work on my stories at least one day a week.
