Maria R. Dawn is a laid back author fueled by too much coffee, loud music, and a love for exploring worlds far from her own. Writing has been her lifelong passion, with dreams of publishing taking root when she was young.

​​

Maria's books blend the haunting and heartfelt. You can expect morally gray characters, monsters, demons, and other things that go bump in the night alongside those same characters making googly eyes at each other and stumbling into found families.

​

When she isn’t writing, you can find Maria on her porch reading in the rain, designing projects and activities for her preschool classroom, or demolishing her family in Mario Kart.
