About Dawn

My family and I live in Lynchburg, VA, in the Blue Ridge  Mountains.  I am an avid lover of cozy mysteries and enjoy  attending Malice Domestic. For relaxation, I assemble 1,000-piece jigsaw  puzzles.
 

One of my favorite things to do is attend writers' conferences. In addition to  networking with other agents and editors, I try to meet with any of my authors  who might live in the area, as well as meet new authors.
 

Always a lot  of fun!
