Tasty tidbits about Dawn
What is your favorite movie? The Notebook.
What kind of vehicle do you drive? A Yota. FJ Cruiser.
If you could be any animal what would it be? Meow. Their nature suits me. World domination.
How old are you? Forty-one.
What genre/s do you write? Urban Fantasy Romance/Erotic Romance, Science Fiction Romance/Erotic Romance and Young Adult.
What made you decide to write the genre you do? Two words. Star Wars. Saw it on the big screen as a child and was smitten.
When not writing, what hobbies/interests do you have? I'm an artist. I quilt, weave beads and enjoy mixed martial arts and gardening. I love horseback riding but haven't done it in years. I'm a rancher's daughter.
What is your latest book about? Blown Away. It's a military/science fiction romance that deals with the bomb squad in space, defusing alien weapons and ordnance.
When did it come out?It was released November 13th, 2010 with Passion in Print.
Was there anything that inspired you to write it?Absolutely. My son is a Marine and he was considering EOD, the explosive ordnance disposal. I'm an Army vet so I understand what it is, but it's still scary when your kid is considering disarming live explosives. I believe most fear is spawned from what you don't understand, so I began to research everything thing I could about it, and after he decided to go a different route, I decided it made great story material.
Does your family know about your writing career? My mother and sister read everything I write—even the naughty stuff. My father isn't into romance, but he always asks how my books are coming along. Even my boys and daughter-in-law know. It's not a secret.
If so what do they say about it? I love writing hot sex scenes and though it might not be my mother's cup of tea, she's still my biggest fan. My sister is helping me build my website. Cousins, brother, friends, are all great support.
What is your writing day like?I work 40+ hours a week, so my writing day consists of tapping away on a laptop from the front seat of my FJ on my lunch break and an hour before work. I like the seclusion and the radio. I end up surfing the web when I'm home, so not much writing takes place there.
Do you have any projects in the works? Several.
What are they? The two priorities are a novel that follows Slipping the Past that's published with Liquid Silver Books, called Hear No Evil, and the second novel in the Blown Away series. The two stories in that book are Bomb Voyage and The Infamous Ava Frost.
Why did you choose your particular publishers to go with? I did a lot of research on publishers before I even sent a submission out. Liquid Silver Books has a sterling reputation and kick-ass covers. They were at the top of my list and I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with them. I love the staff. A fantastic group of people.
Passion in Print found me, and I'm thrilled they did. After talking to one of their editors quite extensively, I decided I loved the direction the owner was taking her company and wanted to get onboard with the new division (Passion in Print) of her existing publishing company MLR. I also love the staff. Professional and fun to work with.
