Danette J Hansen has always gravitated to the creative side of life. She’s writes historical fiction, urban fantasy for the middle grade and young adult audiences. She’s illustrated and written a few picture books. She loves creating worlds that readers can escape into. Writing is truly magical to her. "As the magical elements of a story fall into place, I've learned that's really how life is; magical when you least expect it.” 

Her motto as an author is to entertain and to inspire.
