D.G. Novak
Dawn G. Novak was born one snowy January morning in
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Even from a very early age, her
artistic abilities became apparent. Before the age of
seven, she had begun to draw and paint, and when she was
eight years old she entered one of her drawings into the
annual Calgary Stampede Art Festival. Those who knew her
were not surprised when it earned her an honorable mention
from the judges, no small feat for one so young. It was
not long, however, before Dawn soon turned her growing
talents toward the two other loves that would govern her
life--music and writing. From the very beginning, Dawn's teachers recognized and
encouraged her writing skills. She won the Curtis Award in
1968, an honor given to the one student who, out of all
the students in the province of Alberta, achieved the
highest grade in literature. Still, Dawn soon found
herself drawn more and more toward the world of music. At
the age of thirteen, she taught herself to play the guitar
and soon she and her two sisters were performing at local
charity shows and church functions. Ultimately, what had started as a bit of a lark turned
into a career and Dawn would end up spending over twenty
years on the road, performing across Canada and even
recording in Nashville. Eventually her two sisters would
drop out of the industry but still she continued on,
playing in other bands along the way. However, it wasn't
until she began her solo career that her old love,
writing, began to push itself back into the forefront of
her life. In 1981, Dawn began to write again. At first, it
was simply to try and alleviate the boredom of life alone
on the road. Soon it became much, much more. It became a
burning desire to tell her own stories, in her own way.
Extremely proud of her Irish heritage, and ever mindful of
the legacy of storytellers in the grand tradition, she is
constantly striving to challenge herself and to grow in
her writing. She has now published two sci/fi/fantasy
novels in her series about the race known as Shadrani:
Prince of Gemen and Sons of Gemen. Today she lives in
Phoenix and Mexico with her husband and two cats. Most of
her time is spent with the newest loves of her life, the
Shadrani. She invites readers to visit her website at
