Donald W. Smith, known professionally as Donnie Smith, was born on December 7, 1990. A man of diverse talents, Donnie is both a retired soccer player and an accomplished author. During his athletic career, he played as a left back for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Charlotte Independence of the USL Championship.

Transitioning from the soccer field to the literary world, Donnie has made a name for himself as a writer. He is the creative mind behind We Got Zombies On The Lawn Again, Ma, the first installment in a three-book series. This series takes a humorously irreverent look at zombies through the eyes of the indomitable protagonist, Ax Handel. Drawing from his experiences as a correctional officer and a writing teacher with degrees in education and history from the University of North Dakota, Donnie began his storytelling journey by swapping dark, funny tales with inmates. These stories have now found their way into his published work, showcasing his unique storytelling style and sense of humor.

His website offers a glimpse into the world of Ax Handel, a character who embodies the spirit of defiance against the zombie apocalypse. Ax's adventures are not just about fighting zombies but also about highlighting the absurdities of the situations he finds himself in. Donnie's work promises to entertain while poking fun at the political correctness of our times.
