Tanya D. Dawson

Tanya D. Dawson is a happy writer of fiction which she will tell you is "way more fun" than her previous work writing cybersecurity policies and documentation. She has emerged from a life-long career in defense and intelligence as a fresh voice with the intention to spearhead exciting, beyond-normal fiction for YA readers' without plummeting into the deep dark, and with a sparkling of light. Though fictional, her work is authentic, diverse and empowering. Midwestern born, avid reader, and veteran of both USAF and USAF Reserve, Tanya lives in the American Southwest with her amazing husband, a fellow Star Trek and Star Wars fan, surrounded by a forest of mesquite trees and creosotes.
