About the author

Donna Maree Hanson is a traditionally and independently published author of fantasy, science fiction and horror. She also writes paranormal romance and romance under the pseudonym of Dani Kristoff. As well as over 20 short stories published in various genres, she had a small press publishing house, been an editor, slush reader and science fiction convention runner. She used to work for the Australian Government undertaking audits of other government departments and their programs but in 2016 she threw that life away to become a PhD candidate researching feminism in popular romance fiction at the University of Canberra. She lives in South Canberra, Australia, with her partner Matthew Farrer (also a writer). Since moving to the new house, which overlooks the Brindabella Mountains, both Donna and Matthew are amazed at how the mountains change with the light, the clouds and the weather. Now with a deck, they can sit outside and watch the sun set and think interesting thoughts.
Donna has three series going. One is the Love and Space Pirates series, which is a young adult/new adult space adventure/romance. The sequel to Rayessa and the Space Pirates, Rae and Essa's Space Adventures was out in May 2015. An adult story in this series, Opi Battles the Space Pirates was released in March 2017.
Argenterra, the first in a new epic fantasy series called the Silverlands, was released in April 2016. Oathbound, book two in the series, is due for release on 31 March 2017 and is available for preorder. Ungiven Land will be up for preorder soon with an expected publishing date of June 2017. This series is a portal fantasy, featuring a secondary world and has romance themes and a type of earth magic.
Out now is the Dragon Wine series published by Momentum Books (Pan Macmillan Australia). Dragon Wine Book 1: Shatterwing and Dragon Wine Book 2: Skywatcher are (grim) dark fantasy with a science fiction/post-apocalytic setting. This book is definitely for adult readers as it contains some brutality. The books are available in ebook and print. Dragon Wine Book three, Deathwings is due out in April 2017. Bloodstorm will follow in June 2017.

I recently read Deathwings, book three, and am very pleased it holds up well both in its continuity of the plot of the first two and in the way in which it remains true to the original world building and treasures the nature of the characters we continue to follow.
Deathwings picks up in the rubble and carnage following the ending of Skywatcher. Hanson winds the characters up with a heavy mix of personal failures and desperate goals then sends them off on their interconnected trials. Even though it has been so long since I read Shatterwing and Skywatcher, I reconnected quickly with the characters and fell into the story and setting.
My favourite character thus far is Nils, a time-traveller of sorts who woke after a thousand year sleep to find himself the only living person in his vast underground city. He is always portrayed as isolated and alone, pale, invisible and even hiding in the shadows. Even his name, Nils, (I associate it with nil, or nothing) enhances the idea of him being on the outside. Ironically and in spite of Nils and his lost society existing on the outskirts of the surface dwelling Margran society, he may be keeper of the only clues that may save the surface dwellers from their falling moon.
It's also hard to describe these books without using words like grim and dark over and over. Deathwings is written with an incredible economy of words in that people, places and even thoughts have been described in a way that maximizes the impact of Hanson's words. She shares the ugly and the beautiful with a deft hand for quickly creating memorable imagery.
Having read much of Hanson's work, Deathwings is the most powerfully written tale I've experienced from her yet. Her words build tension and power the action. Not once did I find a distracting choice of word or 'dropped in' patch of back story to bump me from my engagement.
As a middle book in a series of six, Deathwings secures its place as the plot anchor both wrapping up the first half and setting up the volumes yet to come. It's such a great feeling to be in the middle of a series you love and know you still have three full stories to read for the first time. I look forward to more adventure and recommend you fill out your fantasy collection with this sextet.

Dragon wine continues to be dark and it is difficult to see any light on the horizon. The characters are forever in peril and there seems to be no one they can trust. As the story is character driven it is heavy in emotion but light on for action. Whilst I am held captive by the suspense and promise of things to come, I am frustrated at the pace the plot is moving. Still, I will be reading on. I need to know how this ends.
