Blood Awakening (40 page)

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 Masters 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 books. Since
then, she has published works as diverse as poetry, greeting cards, workbooks
for kids with autism, and academic curricula. The Blood Curse Series marks her
long-desired return to her creative-writing roots and her first foray into the
Dark Fantasy world of vampire fiction.

Tessa currently lives in the suburbs with her two
children and “one very crazy cat” but hopes to someday move to the country
where she can own horses and a German Shepherd.

Writing is her bliss.
