Dawn M. Garcia

DAWN M. GARCIA wrote her first mystery short story in fifth grade and her first thriller short story in seventh grade. An avid reader since Nancy Drew captured her attention when she was eight, Dawn has thousands of books that she has read over the years, most of which include romance and historical novels. Flawess: Perfection has a Price, is her first novel. The SIA: Are you Haunted? is her next novel, coming out on October 10, 2014. She was raised in the church, so she doesn't have an exact date for when she accepted Jesus as her Savior, but she does remember dedicating her life to the Lord at summer camp when she was 13. Dawn spends lots of time on the computer with a career as a database administrator and her free time is spent writing, reading, researching, or buried in website development. She has a bachelor's degree in database management and a master's degree in psychology. She has served in church most of her life and has been speaking from the pulpit since her early teens. In addition to leading worship through song, Dawn enjoys teaching and public speaking. Dawn hopes to use her experiences in life to help others learn what not to do! "It's not about failure; it's what you do with the pieces." She believes we all have moments of failure in our life, but the victors are the ones who stand back up and fight.
