About Dana
Greetings! First, God Bless America and THANK YOU to our troops!
Next, I'm Dana, and I'm the proud EDITOR of The Northwest Voice! I'm a wife of 19 years (!!!) and a mother of three. I've lived in Northwest Bakersfield all of my life and graduated from North High School (go Stars!) I have my B.A. from CSUB (go Runners!), and creative writing is my passion. I've been published six times writing contemporary romance for a national magazine, but my real interest is in editorial writing and historical romantic fiction (think 17th century Europe). After college, I spent some much-needed time with my family, then dabbled in substitute teaching. When I was given the opportunity to become editor, however, of a publication I have supported and loved as a contributor like YOU for the last several years, I couldn't pass it up!
"If you find a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life."
My interests? I love to read and go to movies. I also like running, BASEBALL (go G-Hawks!), camping, and Starbucks.
Again, thank you to all of our troops overseas, who may be reading the NW Voice hoping to get news of home. I wish you well and pray for your safe and speedy return.

Dana - Congratulations to Jarret! You must be so incredibly proud. Our family doesn't typically follow baseball, but after seeing the write up in Thursday's paper, we followed the draft religiously. How totally cool!!!
