Dawn has been obsessed by things that go bump in the night ever since she was little. During the course of her work, she has sipped on Skull Garitas, investigated the mischievous charm of fairy folk, endured a night in a haunted castle and interviewed a man who had removed his own fingerprints – all in the name of research. This obsession creeps into her creative work. Her current work in progresses are: the YA gothic novel Little Playthings & Rollerghoster, a supernatural detective story for the middlegrade market. In 2023, she received funding from Creative Scotland to research Scotland’s horror roots and how its landscape, history, ghost stories and folklore has inspired generations of writers.

Dawn also has over 20 years’ experience in public relations, copywriting and digital communications and has developed a particular specialism for working with clients in the literature sector, including bestselling authors and leading literary festivals.
