Donna Koros Stramella is a Maryland-based writer who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Tampa. She is a previous award-winning journalist and video screenwriter and producer. Her novel, Coffee Killed My Mother, tells the story of a revealing mother-daughter road trip. Her second novel, Among the Bones, is "a compelling murder mystery with a community of exiles living in a cemetery who have found their own strange redemption.”--Carol LaHines, author of Someday Everything Will All Make Sense and The Vixen Amber Halloway
