M. Dobson

The day after my hero Madeleine L’Engle died, I reassessed my writing-for-myself habits. It was time to up my game. I attended incredible writing conferences where I found amazing instructors. I joined supportive organizations, including the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCWBI), Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and International Thriller Writers.


I live in Iowa's prairie land with two horses, a ghost cat, and a blue merle Sheltie.
