Dana Goldstein

Dana Goldstein has always been a creative type, and began telling stories at the age of six when she was punished and sent to her room. Her instructions were to not play, not read, not color—just sit on her bed and think about what she had done. To quell the boredom, Dana started making up stories, which she would tell herself-out loud—even though no one was listening. Dana started writing down her stories at the age of nine, using school composition books. She moved into a career as a journalist, writing feature stories for magazines and newspapers across North America. Dana lives, creates, and writes from her home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Shift is her first middle grade novel.
