Donna is currently collecting historic photographs and postcards for a Watauga County Images of America book. The deadline to contact her with images is April 1st. If you have documents to share with Donna click here to contact her.
Donna
grew up near Abingdon, Virginia in the valleys of the Holston River, and
now lives in the mountains of western North Carolina. She credits hearing
stories about Daniel Boone camping and his dogs being attacked by wolves
in Abingdon with developing her love of history. She has combined her
love of history, writing, and Appalachian heritage by writing two books
about the area.
She has published short stories and poetry in Appalachian Heritage and
Branches. Donna has received awards for short stories and poems in East
Tennesse State University's Appalachian fiction contest and the Virginia
Highlands Festival Creative Writing contest.
"Donna Warmuth is a wonderful writer, so entertaining that the
story really takes over and history comes alive on the page before us.
Great reading for all ages." - Lee Smith, award winning author
of The Last Girls
"Readers young and old will find a treasure trove of Virginia
history in this lovingly-crafted tale of Abingdon past and present"
- Sharyn McCrumb, New York Times Best-Selling author of The Songcatcher
