Dawn Brotherton is an award-winning author and featured speaker at writing and publishing seminars. When it comes to exceptional writing, Dawn draws on her experience as a retired colonel from the US Air Force as well as a softball coach. Her books include the Jackie Austin Mysteries (The Obsession and Wind the Clock) and the Global Ebook Bronze Award Winner for romance, Untimely Love.

She has also completed four books (Trish's Team; Margie Makes a Difference; Nicole's New Friend, and Tammy Tries Baseball) in the middle grade Lady Tigers Series about girls' fastpitch softball, encouraging female athletes to reach for the stars in the game they love. As a mother of two female athletes, Dawn is intent on encouraging women to "play like a girl," which means play with determination, teamwork, sportsmanship and most of all, a love of the game.

Under nonfiction, the Softball Scoresheet was created to keep score during softball games with instructions written for those not as familiar with the intricacies of the game.

In other nonfiction, The Road to Publishing (Bronze award from the Military Writers Society of America) is designed to walk writers through the maze of becoming a published author, whether self-publishing, traditional-publishing, or somewhere in between. Dawn is also a contributing author to the non-fiction A-10s over Kosovo, sharing stories from her deployment.
