Harriet's Horrible Hair Day

Life is like
a sandbox full
of toys.
Dig deep and enjoy.



Dawn lived her first nine years in New Jersey and moved to Massachusetts when her father received a job transfer. When a grade-school teacher assigned a book report, Dawn read
Miss Pickerell Goes to Mars by Ellen MacGregor and discovered the joy of visiting other worlds through books.

In high school, Dawn co-edited and wrote for the school magazine and began writing short stories for children. She then experimented with other genres of writing, including mystery, science fiction and fantasy.

Other pathways led her to write cable television scripts an
d edit a literary journal. She also developed and moderated a writing forum online, which encouraged people of all ages to have fun playing with words.

Her writing turned full circle when she again started writing for children.

Harriet's Horrible Hair Day is her first published picture book for children.

Dawn's short stories and poems have won writing contests and have appeared online and in print.

Andy
Andy and Joey - First Christmas
Joey
 

I adopted Andy (gray cat) and Joey (black cat) from a local animal shelter. Both boys are lively and keep me entertained. Andy has the habit of snatching pens and pencils and hiding them around the house. Joey makes sure to let me know when the food dishes need filling!
