Knudsen, Donelle

Donelle Knudsen's home town is Portland, OR, the beautiful rose city of the Pacific Northwest, but she has lived in Richland, WA, since 1988. She earned a BS in Arts and Letters from Portland State University, and is a four-time finalist in Pacific Northwest Writers Literary contest in the memoir category. She owes her love of books and the craft of writing to her late father, Donald A. Williams, who was never too busy to read to her or to make visits to the 'big library' every Saturday.
