Donna Blaber
Donna writes across a range of genres. Her career began in the mid-1980s, at the Auckland Star, and took off when she became the lifestyle/travel editor at NZ Autocar magazine, writing road trip features.
In 2004 Donna wrote her first creative non-fiction book; since then she’s written 42 titles, for children and adults. For many years Donna was the editor-in-chief of RV & Motorhome Lifestyle. She continued editing for several publishing houses until her final gig in 2011, launching Renovate magazine.
These days, she runs an engineering firm in Whangarei with her husband. She puts her Masters’ degree in Creative Writing to good use in her spare time, editing manuscripts. Donna reads widely, and writes when she can.
Her latest book, Just Keep Going, for 9-12 year olds, is set on the Tutukaka coast. It’s described by NZ’s Reading Ambassador, Alan Dingley, as an environmental mystery with “new beginnings, new family and friends”; one that delivers “vivid landscapes that do NZ’s coastlines justice”.

Just Keep Going
Would you risk everything to save a dolphin?
When champion windsurfer Becky Samuels returns to New Zealand during the pandemic, everything’s changed. Dad’s moved house, and Becky has a new stepmum, and an annoying baby brother. Even worse, Becky’s windsurfing board hasn’t arrived.
After Becky finds an obsidian stone, everything changes. She makes friends at school, joins an environmental group, borrows a board, and has several close encounters with an inquisitive dolphin. It’s friendly, but Becky can’t shake the feeling it’s trying to tell her something.
As poachers steal fish from the local marine reserve, rubbish washes up on the beach, and brooding storm clouds gather.
If Becky is the dolphin’s only hope, will she be able to save it?
