ABOUT ME

Kristin J. Dawson

I love chocolate (*quality* chocolate, because … life is short!), research (I know, I know, who loves research … *raises hand*), English movies (especially with my mom or my sisters), and reading science fiction and fantasy novels (like Raye Wagner, Jeff Wheeler, Melissa Caruso, J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, and … a thousand other great stories with fun characters and lots of tension!).

I was born in L.A., grew up in Utah, spent a short stint in Bristol, England, then ended up in the Pacific NorthWest. I’ve been here ever since! But, honestly, I feel like a Utah girl that ended up living in a forest. And I love it!

Note: When Oregonians say, “I live in the country,” they’re not talking about living near cornfields or cows. They’re talking about the woods. The woods! (I know, it’s not like the farmer stories I grew up with, either.)

I published The Unchosen Series, which includes The Lilac Plague, The Rose Court, and The Canina Thorn. This epic fantasy series features:
– a uniquely fantastic magic system
– adventure (book 1), royal intrigue (book 2), and and culimates in an epic battle (book 3)
– secrets and curses
– a fabulous, magical language created by linguist MK Martin (Tolkein would be proud)
– complicated familial relationships
– loyalty and betrayal
– a Roman and Dacian inspired world
– friends to lovers and forbidden romance (no spicy scenes)
– and an unchosen girl who “chooses to become” and saves her kingdom
