About Me

- Dawn Byrne
- Everything takes a back seat to family. And my back seat is jammed with family stories, true and probably true. Self-improvement and life myoptically examined punt their way into my blog posts, along with excerpts from my novel-in-progress. My goals are to read every classic, leave a teeny carbon footprint, and do the least harm in the garden. I'm addicted to writer's groups and need to talk shop regularly, or I go into withdraw. I feed my need by being a member of four groups and connecting online with hundreds of artists. I live with a red-eared slider turtle I've been apologizing to for 30 years for domesticating. I've been living with and apologizing to my husband longer.
