One of Dawn's greatest avenues for creative self expression and taking nothing and turning it into something is her writing.  Dawn has been writing both poetry and song lyrics since she was a young child and it was not until her adult years that she began to expand into an intensive exploration of the elements of writing fiction and non-fiction.   Her interest in writing a novel drew her to the Bethesda Writer's Center where Dawn is currently a member.  Dawn has taken numerous classes at  The Writer's Center that have enabled her to hone her skills and sharpen her ability to blend her imagination with true techniques of craft.

Though the writing of a novel is very time consuming, Dawn finds that it is one of her most fulfilling experiences. Through Fiction and Creative Non-Fiction writing Dawn's passions are set free as she creates her characters, draws in her readers early on, keeps their attention throughout her powerfully written stories, and causes them to think and feel right up to her thought provoking endings.

Dawn has recently completed her Memoir - "Bouncing Back and Moving Forward, A True Story of One Woman's Struggle to Survive" and is currently working on her fiction/mystery novel,
"lnside Maggie's Mind."

Other works include:
A book of Poetry - "Dawn Expressions - A Gamut of Emotions."
A Children's Book - "Scooner" A story about a boy and his dog.
A Music CD -"A New Day Dawning" with 7 of my original songs.
