D. B. Pacini Biography

D.B. Pacini has been a writer since she was nine-years-old. In high school her first love was drama, and she performed in school dramatical plays and musicals. In high school she also began singing with folk musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and Berkeley, California. Until the birth of her son in 1981, she was active in musical performances and productions. She co-owned a music company, Painted Ponies Productions, and she worked as a talent scout.

In the past few years she has focused on writing and has written several short stories, essays, numerous songs, and poetry. Emma's Love Letters was an experiment to write a short story primarily through letters instead of through narrative or dialogue. Also, because of her tremendous appreciation for Vincent van Gogh, she used the story as a vehicle to inspire readers to explore his art.

At a certain point she began to explore the possibility of turning the short story into a novel and giving it a humanitarian foundation that would help benefit at-risk kids.

After learning about the Guitars Not Guns (GNG) program she contacted GNG founder Ray Nelson and explained her interest in associating GNG with her novel. She requested a GNG instructor to be assigned to her as the laison. This musician, Matt Cole, was soon invited to become a core member of the CD team.
