    About this series

    A name. All she needed was a name.

     

    The sign on the door read: Hot Yoga. Certainly that wasn't the troll's name. She'd have to knock.

    When the door opened, she saw a sight which would never be able to unsee, even with the aid of a forgetting spell. Yet, the mission must continue.

    If you're hunting for a new, quick story to read, Dawn Blair has a treasure for you.

The computer handles most of the work once done with real tools, leaving him bored beyond belief.   He can fake happiness with a smile on his face, but the emoji on his arm doesn't lie.   Every day, the government-implanted chip in his arm frowns at him and becomes a deeper shade of blue. His friends and family worry about him, knowing the dangers if he doesn't tune-up his attitude soon.   Derek's mental state can't slip down any further. Otherwise, someone might come to fix him.   From the author of Oxygen comes a terrifying look at an alternate reality not so far off in our possible future.   WARNING: Does contain explicit language.

      The ant scurries on the counter, alone and the only remnant of its poisoned colony. Empathizing with the ant, Natalie ponders putting it out of its misery. As a scientist, she knows her flowcharts point to humankind’s destruction: much like the ants, we polluted our colony too. Heading up one of a handful of secret labs, Natalie’s mission to save humanity seems more like a cliché sci-fi movie than reality. Or maybe the world-weary views she possesses stem from her own bitter past.   Knowing the final days of humanity approaches, Natalie plans for her revenge and escape. A dark tale of the world near death and one woman determined to survive against all the odds.

    Dawn Blair

    Come take an adventure with your multi-dimensional, time-traveling tour guide, Dawn Blair. Telling stories of noble hearts and fantastic places, Dawn enjoys creating stories full of action, fantasy, quests, and maybe a touch of technology.  For as long as she can remember, she's been telling stories, starting with tales of cats and dogs. No one ever dared to ask her to "imagine" something because it would send her creativity spinning. One fateful day, her grandmother, certainly tired of listening to the endless prater, sat Dawn down at a typewriter and told her to write the story out.  Growing up on a ranch in rural Nevada, she had plenty of time and space to let her imagination roam free. When she wasn't out playing or working in the alfalfa fields or swimming at the pool, she was at home typing away at her novels.  Dawn moved to Idaho and, after a second fateful day where an instructor taught her to see as an artist, her life expanded to include other creative endeavors: painting, illustrating, animating, and photography in addition to writing. They all became mediums for the way she could share stories. Soon, she had won numerous awards for writing, painting, and photography, as well as gaining readers and collectors worldwide. All while raising her two fantastic boys as a single mom.  Dawn decided to start recording audiobooks. Knowing nothing about the process, she began learning and transformed a simple home setup into a home studio, a sequence marked by a third fateful day in her life when she decided to quit dabbling and get serious. Dawn aims for improving her audio with each narrative tale she completes. Still in Idaho, Dawn spends every moment she can exploring strange worlds, seeking out brave lives and magical civilizations. She wants to touch your life with magic, open your mind, and make sure you will never be the same again. Let her show you the sights. Let's be on our way, shall we?
