Explore this seriesAuthor bio
Donna Augustine is a New Jersey author who writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, dystopian fantasy, and stories where the world is usually one bad day away from falling apart.
Her route into writing began with a different lifelong dream: becoming a cat lady. Family allergies made a house full of cats impractical, so she turned toward a job that could also make room for a big imagination. Writing won out.
Augustine blends the things she likes to read, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, and romance. The result is a catalog full of hidden magic, dangerous creatures, stubborn heroines, and relationships that take their time. Her characters often begin with no safe place to stand. Then they have to decide who to trust while everyone around them seems to have an agenda.
The first books in her Alchemy series introduced readers to Jo Davids, a Las Vegas waitress whose strange abilities pull her into a world of portals, shapeshifters, and other realms. In Karma, Augustine took a more offbeat route, following a young lawyer who dies, becomes the universe's new agent of consequence, and finds herself working beside Fate, Luck, and Murphy's Law. The setup has plenty of dark moments, but there is room for sarcasm and odd workplace politics too.
Then came ruined worlds.
The Wilds follows Dahlia after a devastating plague has remade civilization into a much stranger and more dangerous place. Its companion series, Born Wild, returns to that setting through Teddy, a young woman burdened with visions of death. In Wyrd Blood, magic has existed for centuries, war has changed the world, and Bugs must keep her small crew alive while confronting the truth about her own power.
Augustine also writes tighter urban fantasy series set closer to modern life, at least at first. Ollie Wit centers on a woman who has seen monsters all her life and learns that her frightening visions are real. Tales of Xest begins in Salem before sending Tippi Tudor into a hidden magical world where she is suddenly expected to pay a debt she never knew she owed. Both series pair a prickly heroine with an uneasy, slow-building romance.
Her later work keeps widening the map. Going Nowhere follows a woman whose life is erased in a strange transition between worlds, leaving her to make a home in the eternal night of Nowhere. Life After Death Day starts after most of the population dies without warning, with Piper trying to protect her little brother in a collapsing world filled with threats she does not yet understand.
The common thread is survival, but not in a gloomy, hopeless way. Augustine's heroines are often scared, angry, funny, and very willing to argue with anyone telling them what to do. They make mistakes. They keep moving anyway.
Her author bio describes a New Jersey writer fueled by caffeine and occasionally spotted at the local dog park. That feels about right for books populated by monsters, magic, messy loyalties, and people trying to build a life after everything changes.
