Novelist and essayist

Women are taught to doubt their own authority long before they realize it.
I write fiction and essays about how that authority is reclaimed through story.

About Dawn

I write about women’s lives, faith, and the role of story in shaping both.

Before focusing on writing, I worked as an elementary teacher. I hold a diploma in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford and am currently completing an MFA in Genre Fiction.

The stories we tell shape what we believe is possible, and reclaiming one’s voice is the beginning of a different kind of life.

Essays on faith, voice, and moral imagination

My essays are where I develop the ideas that shape my fiction.

I write about women’s voices, faith, and the moral architecture of story. These pieces are grounded in lived experience, but they are not only personal. They name what is true, what is worth keeping, and what must be left behind.

If you are drawn to writing that is both reflective and clear, the essays are the place to begin.
