Dawn started writing in college, but she's been telling herself stories as long as she can remember. At first, they were just ways to pass the time while doing chores on the farm, but they rapidly became an obsession. Now she shares that obsession with others, writing the stories she desperately wants to read but can't find. She is professionally and independently published, and plans to have a long, prolific career as a hybrid author. She currently lives in Kansas City with lots of family and cats.  Her interests, when she's not jacked into the Internet, include horses, crocheting, action and horror movies, reading urban fantasy, science fiction, and fantasy, and discussing feminism, racism and other -isms in the media.
