About April Dawn
Hello, my name is April Dawn. I live in California with my loving husband and a beautiful baby boy who was born in '08. I enjoy reading, travel, and music. I have always loved to read. I have read voraciously for more than twenty years now. (OOPs, guess I'm showing my age there.) I have a love of suspense, fantasy, PI and police crime novels, and so many others, but I have a real soft spot for historical romance.

I think I wrote my first official romance scene when I was about fifteen or so. It consisted of a girl being taken aboard a pirate ship and falling madly for the captain. I wish I still had that writing, because it would be real fun to read what I wrote like back then. I started writing seriously in 2002, and finished my first novel that year which retained the title "Romance Novel" for more than five years. I hope to publish it within the next year or so. I have since finished two other novels that were lucky enough to be named something other than "Romance Novel".

In the future, I hope to be able to bring more of my characters into the world as I work to finish and publish the other novels that I have begun. Stay tuned to meet all the pirates, gunslingers and thieves that run through my head. Hopefully you will love them as much as I do.

Oo, pirates! My heart flutters at the very thought;-) Unless, you know, I think about the real ones. I much prefer the romantic version! At any rate, welcome from another writer who is currently buried in the sands of Egypt circa 1920s . . . (mentally, that is.)

Welcome to Shoutlife, April!

You will go far as a writer. How could you NOT with a name like yours! LOL

I'm with you...if only I'd saved those first few things I'd written.... (Then again, on second thought, maybe it's best I didn't; I did save stuff written in my mid-20s and ack. It could gag a maggot! LOL)

Looking forward to getting to know you better and learning all about your latest WIP. Meanwhile, may the good Lord shower you, your hubby and baby boy with joys too numerous to count!

Blessings,
Loree
