Love and War: Meet Romance Author and Poet, Dawn Torrens

Dawn, it’s great to have you here! I love your romance novels. For people who haven’t had the chance to read them yet, could you tell us a bit about them?

I love romance combined with drama, so my books often contain heart-wrenching scenes. I like my books to evoke all kinds of emotions in people and for them to feel the pain, the love and all the emotions my characters are feeling. This is not easy to do and so I often find I have to get into character myself when writing certain scenes. Romance is a common theme throughout all of my books and combined with the drama my readers have come to know me well for I think it's a great combination.

Great Women, Great Authors: Meet Dawn Torrens!

I have always admired people who have shown great personal strength and today it’s great to welcome one amazing woman who has, Dawn Torrens.
 

Dawn, could you tell us about your first two books?

My first two books were a very personal project. They were about my true life story and one I felt compelled to share with everyone. I am a firm believer that dreams can come true no matter what anyone tells you. No matter how tough life gets or how far away your hopes and dreams seem to be, there is always a way to make them happen if you are determined enough. I had a very challenging childhood one that chipped away at your confidence little by little each day and one where there was no place for dreams, as simply existing daily was a hard enough task. I wrote my life story over two books, Amelia’s Story and Amelia’s Destiny.
