Book Talk & Signing with Local Author Dawn McIntyre In-Person
Dawn McIntyre is a New Jersey native and long-time resident of rural Pennsylvania. After years of remodeling houses and working in corporate America, she began devoting more time to her true passion: building with words. The result, so far, has been a portfolio of short stories and four novels. Among the short stories are Julia’s World, about a young girl struggling to emerge from the shadow of an abusive mother to discover the rest of the world and her place in it; Distant Relations, about a teen who escapes her stifling extended family to start fresh in the home of her estranged father—a man who realizes too late how much he wants the daughter he left behind; and The Study, in which a thirty-something journalist discovers the illicit secrets of a historic figure he’s researching and must face a decision to reveal and profit from them, or to conceal and protect the reputations of long-dead people he’s come to admire and respect. Her first published novel, Zookeeper, addressed the prevalence, stupidity, and tenacity of prejudice.
She founded, along with two fellow authors, a writers’ workshop in 2013 that met at a local library until the Covid pandemic necessitated a switch to virtual gatherings. She continues to write fiction peopled by richly nuanced characters in deceptively simple, familiar settings.
She will be speaking about and reading excerpts from her latest novel, The Paper Pirate, published in November, 2022. It will be available for sale & signing.
More about The Paper Pirate can be found on the author's website.
