Author Talk: Interview with Dawn M. Paul

Meet Dawn she’s a reader, writer, artist, poet, yarnie, gnome-lover, Christian, wife, mom, and friend. This is the second time Rochelle interviews her (yes, part of the original interview was deleted). This time Sumi the Wonder-dog pays a visit.

They talk about Dawn’s writing and artistic faith-filled journey beginning young and blossoming in recent years. Dawn is member of several groups including SCBWI and NaNoWriMo. She offers sage advice in a writerly fashion. She has eight books published at this time.

Dawn lives in Ohio with her husband and has degrees and/or diplomas in Humanities, English Literature, Business Management, Travel, and Children’s Literature. She fancies herself a poet, writer, artist, reader, wife, mom, and lover of gnomes, color, yarn, books and God. She tends to see the world through rose-colored glasses and even sometimes, with a luminescent glow.
