Dawn Kurtagich is a 24 year old author-in-waiting, writing young adult and adult novels. By the time she was eighteen she had been to fifteen schools across two continents and adores each and every friend she made while there. She grew up all over the place, the daughter of a British globe-trotter and single mother. Her formative years were spent in Africa where she lived on a mission, in the bush, in the city and in the desert.

She has been lucky enough to see an elephant stampede at close range, and she once witnessed the stealing of her underwear by very large very angry baboons. She has quite a few tales to tell about the jumping African Baboon spider too (she saves these for halloween).

She now lives in the beautiful English countryside, near the ocean, with her husband and studies via correspondence to give her more time to write. She also handles the social media and online presence of several companies and designs & auctions OOAK dolls.

When not writing, Dawn enjoys composing music, travelling, amature photography, german expressionist films circa 1920's-30's and reading copious amounts of fiction. Her life reads like a YA novel.

She blogs over here on a regular basis and makes videos over at WritaholicDK. They contain lots of bloopers:
