Danica Nava is an author and Executive Assistant in the tech industry.[1][2][3][4][5][excessive citations]

An enrolled citizen of the Chickasaw Nation,[2][1][4][6] Nava published her first book, The Truth According to Ember on August 6, 2024.[7] She was inspired by her deep love of romantic comedies, but was frustrated with the lack of Native American representation:[3][4] " I wanted to see a funny, scrappy Native woman trying to get herself out of a mess of her own making and fall in love along the way".[3] She was inspired to make the love interest of her novel an IT professional from her experience working in the tech industry, noting that "I feel awful with how IT technicians are treated and I always knew Ember’s love interest would work in IT".[3] The Truth According to Ember received positive reviews.[8][4][7][9] Kirkus Reviews referred to it as "[a] captivating romance that effortlessly balances laugh-out-loud scenes and heartwarming family moments".[7]
