Out of the Past 5 star review

Amazon 5 star review
Brenda J--What a great story. I really like how Dana pulled history into this modern day romance. The characters were great and really pulled me in...I'm amazed at how in depth the family history was and how enjoyable it was getting to know all about them. I can't wait to read the next book!!

Kathleen E. Woodiwiss and Out of the Past

Kathleen E. Woodiwiss has always been the pinacle of historical romance, as far as I am concerned. When I was a teenager and young adult, her stories were what I lived for. In fact, my first born was named after her epic novel "Shanna". My style of writing in Love's Vengeance was very much influenced by her and I have had gotten feedback regarding the similairities.

In Out of the Past, although the story is contemporary and more simple and modern language, I was able to give another nod to Ms. Woodiwiss in the story, which is unique. It was thrilling to be able to weave the story in such a way to be able to do so.

Tracey Garvis Graves and many other Iowa references

I have had a couple emails regarding all the real references in my book and wanted to give a little insight. I live in Iowa and because the book is contemporary and is set in Iowa, I wanted to give shout-outs to many local people and places. Tracey Garvis Graves is just one of many real people referenced who add interesting moments of 'reality' to a fictional story.

Even the music choices are shout-outs to some of my favorite artists and their music. The song references of Out of the Past were important to me and are not random. I wanted those song references to help set the scenes.

World famous cover model Jimmy Thomas (the model on the cover of both of my books) graciously agreed to be in the book.

Dreamcatchers Equine Rescue outside Colorado Springs also allowed the characters to inhabit their REAL ranch and mixing the real people with fictional characters was a blast. Mixing the real, with Torie and her fictional party of characters, will continue in the rest of the series.
