The Unleashed - Soul on Fire Book Series novels have been fictionized for publication but are based on Dannet Botkin's life.

 “I have known great love and immense heartbreak. I have been brought to my knees by sadness. I give and receive pleasure with equal ease, and I honor the gift of forgiveness. I have the soul of a warrior and the heart of a lioness – whether I dance cheek to cheek with corruption, or lay down amidst luxury, I roar. I prevail.” - Veronica Mitchell

Dannet Botkin is a marketing, sales, and operations professional with more than 30 years’ experience in the industry.

She has held positions that range from Advertising Account Executive to Director of Marketing & Operations, President, CMO, COO, and CEO.

Dannet made her dream of starting her own company a reality when she founded Designs Group Consulting (DGC) in 2015. Dannet is proud of her professional team at DGC. “DGC provides access to professional support that can make a business not just survive but thrive. We understand the issues facing businesses in today’s changing marketplace, and we assist with one-on-one support individualized to each company's needs.”

Although she is accustomed to big city life, Dannet says, “There is a quiet calm I experience living in Hot Springs Village that is serene and rejuvenating. I am honored to live near my aging parents.” The entrepreneur adds, “I love all things ocean and animals, and spending time in nature is totally restorative.”
