Danielle Coulanges was born in the Caribbean island of Haiti and came to New York City at the age of sixteen in the mid 1970's. She's had a renaissance career as a fashion designer, entertainer, compliance officer and business woman, but she was born to write.

Danielle is from a family of artists and writers--her father was a lawyer, a journalist and musician and several cousins are musicians, one of which a renown guitarist and composer. She was introduced to music at an early age but did not consider it as a career until her late teens when she attempted to become the next Josephine Baker--or Diana Ross. Those aspirations took a detour when she joined forces with a boyfriend to start a fashion business.

Danielle went back to college as an adult and graduated from New Jersey City University with a major in Economics and a minor in English Literature. She worked for over ten years as a compliance manager for a large brokerage firm in the New York area. As a member of her company's Diversity Committee, she served as the publisher and featured writer of a quarterly newsletter distributed to the divisions' 400-plus employees.

In her early forties Danielle re-discovered her love and natural talent for writing and vowed to one day turn that gift into a vocation that would both bring her joy and bless others.

When she traveled to her native Haiti after a twenty-year absence, she wrote "Home Again" a chronicle of the trip that was published as a four-part series in a New York paper, The Haitian Times. She has written a number of unpublished essays and short stories. Her first full-length story, Cads, Princes & Best Friends: A Tale of Lust, Love & Redemption, was published in the spring of 2008.

Danielle is also a songwriter and has composed several songs that are being recorded. She is a former member of the contemporary gospel choir of the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, New York. She currently resides in the Houston, Texas area where she is an English teacher.

Her motto "I live by faith" is also the title of one of her songs.
