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 colour-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.
