About
Hi and welcome to my blog. I'm Dawn and I weave dreams into story, in between knitting badly, road tripping often, and rounding up my pet aliens, aka my son and grandson.
Former pen names include Lucy Varna (Fantasy Romance, Science Fiction Romance), V.R. Cumming (Erotic Dark Fantasy, Paranormal Romance), Celia Roman (Contemporary Fantasy, Paranormal Mystery), C.D. Watson (Dystopian, Post-Apocalyptic, and SFFH short stories), and M. Anders (Middle Grade SFFH).
Most of my published stories are named below, along with some of my nonfiction. This list does not include out of print titles.
