ⓘ About Maddie Dawson

Maddie Dawson is a literary fiction author best known for writing several bestseller novels. She was brought up in the south in a family full of outrageous storytellers who believed that the best story was the one that was more outlandish. In between the telling of over the top events and crazy stories, she had a routine life with the stories of love lives, people’s affairs, drunken funerals and shotgun weddings thrown in. There were also outlandish stories of rattle snakes coming out of toilets at night, dead people resurrected and miracles and ghosts. Given such an upbringing, it was not surprising that she would turn to a career as an author. However, she took a roundabout way to becoming one as she took on several jobs.
