As a child, Dayna was an avid reader of classic novels, wanting to tell stories like the ones she read. Her first foray into creative writing was in an elective screenwriting class in college. But her teacher was very discouraging, so Dayna believed she would never succeed as a writer. She searched for her place and purpose in the world, but It wasn’t until June 1994, while camping in Sedona Arizona with a friend, Dayna had an encounter with an extraterrestrial being of light, who communicated she would write about this race of beings in the future. This is when her writing journey began, as she wanted to share the story of this race with the world. But Creating an awakened world novel with well-developed characters and a compelling storyline was beyond her skills at that time, so Dayna began writing screenplays. She worked on the crew of the film William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and this spurred her creativity further.
After finishing the film, she wrote four screenplays in four years, teaching herself writing and storytelling, with feedback from industry professionals. Dayna received her master’s degree in spiritual psychology, and wrote her first novel, The Saints and Sinners of Okay County,a story about Aletta Honor, a woman who overcomes her self-doubt and shame to follow her own inner voice and find her authentic self. Her second novel The Wings That Fly Us Home, a sequel to Saints and Sinners, received wonderful reviews.
In 2014, almost exactly twenty years to the day she had the ET encounter, Dayna finally began the novel, receiving the idea and title, Awake: The Legacy of Akara, a spiritual sci-fi thriller about an awakened race of beings. (Get the book on our link, by clicking the image here) ⇨
In order to complete this task, she began working with the brilliant Julia Nadine Padawer, who she met when they were undertaking their master’s degrees in spiritual psychology at the University of Santa Monica. Julia, a former award-winning Madison Avenue advertising executive, is currently a spiritual, intuitive life purpose coach, and a writer and creative consultant and collaborator. Together they laboured for seven years to perfect the manuscript, to share it with the world at this turbulent time in the evolution of human consciousness.
Today Dayna is an award-winning novelist published by Ballantine Books. Her two previous novels were selected for the exclusive Ballantine Reader’s Circle. With Awake, she has fulfilled her lifelong desire to write a spiritual, science-fiction thriller inspired by her ET encounter.
