DonnaInk Publications and 2nd Spirit Imprint Remember Author Christopher Duquette

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - EntSun -- DonnaInk Publications and its 2nd Spirit Imprint extend heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, readers, and life partner of Christopher Duquette, following news of his passing in March 2026.

DonnaInk Publications learned of Christopher's passing only recently and was deeply saddened. Publisher Quesinberry remembers Christopher not only as an author, but as someone with whom she shared lengthy conversations, publishing experiences and, ultimately, friendship.

"Christopher was a welcomed member of the DonnaInk Publications family and became someone I considered a good friend," Quesinberry says. "Our conversations were rarely brief. Christopher took tremendous pride in moving beyond a period when addiction adversely affected his life and livelihood. I admired the honesty with which he put those experiences on the page."

Although the two had lost touch in recent years, the news brought renewed appreciation for their friendship.

I am sincerely grateful to Christopher's partner, Storm Orion, for reaching out and letting me know of his passing."
