She teaches for Princess and Celebrity cruise lines and writers conferences in Colorado where she's part of a rich author community. Dayna Hart has always loved words, and can still remember the first time she put pencil to paper to make magic - stories on the page. Granted, she was the only one who could read them, as she hadn't yet learned her alphabet, and all she made were circles on the page. But the concept stuck: words, and what people can do with them, is a kind of magic. Whether writing her own books, or helping authors polish their own, Dayna is very happy to still be making word-magic in adulthood. (And even better, that other people can now read them.)
