Dawn Temple was born in Louisiana and, despite having now lived more than half her life in Texas, in her heart, she still considers the Bayou State home. Everything about the South appeals to her: lazy days, nosy neighbours, old buildings and ancient trees. But the best thing is the people. In fact, her favourite part of writing is trying to honestly and emotionally capture that warm Southern spirit on the page.
She loves to hear readers say they really connected with one of her characters - especially among the eclectic cast she uses to populate her background. Look closely. With any luck, you might recognise a few characters from your own life.
Dawn lives in the Texas Gulf Coast region with her husband, twin sons and three neurotic dogs. Stop by for a bit of Southern hospitality at her website above where friends are always welcome.
