Bio
Tessa Dawn grew up in Colorado, where she developed a deep affinity for the Rocky Mountains. After graduating with a degree in psychology, she worked for several years in criminal justice and mental health before returning to get her master’s degree in nonprofit management.Tessa began writing as a child and composed her first full-length novel at the age of eleven. By the time she graduated high-school, she had a banker’s box full of short-stories and novels. Since then, she has published works as diverse as poetry, greeting cards, workbooks for kids with autism, and academic curricula. Her Dark Fantasy/Gothic Romance novels represent her long-desired return to her creative-writing roots and her passionate flair for storytelling.
Eleven books later, Tessa’s novels have reached #1 bestselling status, seventeen times. Five of her highly-acclaimed Blood Curse Series titles enjoy a 4.9 average star rating, and her personal Amazon author-ranking has climbed to #2 in Horror and #11 in both Fantasy and Paranormal, placing her on Amazon's charts next to authors like Stephen King and Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Tessa currently splits her time between the Colorado suburbs and mountains with her husband, two children, and “one very crazy cat.” She hopes to one day move to the country where she can own horses and what she considers “the most beautiful creature ever created” -- a German Shepherd.
She is a member of NINC; SFWA; and RWA(PAN).
Writing is her bliss.
