A Note:

6/2/13

I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.

Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.

So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.

I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

Tori: What is your heroine’s least favorite music genre and why? 
Dawn: My heroine from the short story THREAD OF THE PAST (Spirited Anthology) isn’t a big fan of Screamo, but she’ll tolerate everything else. Letisha Hawke grew up in a time where heavy metal or even hard rock wasn’t invented. 
 
Tori: What does your heroine do in her free time?
Dawn: Letisha loves to design steampunk clothes. Something about the Victorian era calls to her. 
 
Tori: What do you enjoy doing when you aren’t writing?
Dawn: I have three large dogs, a teenage stepdaughter and a husband – I’m never bored! Of course I love to read – pretty much anything – and I’m addicted to a couple of TV shows: Supernatural, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and American Idol. (Though I have boycotted Idol for the second year in a row since I have not agreed with the winners…Adam Lambert not first? Mind boggling.)

I just moved into a country home and we’re in the midst of heavy-duty renovations. Sometimes that wins out over everything.

Tori: Day or night?
Dawn: Night. Absolutely.
