Dawn Kinzer writes fiction because she believes in the power of story to comfort, challenge, and inspire. Her work has been published in various devotionals and magazines. Dawn’s historical romance series, The Daughters of Riverton, takes place in the early 1900s. The setting and some of the characters were inspired by her rural Wisconsin hometown. Sarah’s Smile is the first story in the series, Hope’s Design is the second, and Rebecca’s Song completes the trilogy. She carries on the fictional town's legacy with her historical short story, "Maggie's Miracle." The romance With a Trusting Heart was inspired by events that took place during the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition—Seattle’s first world’s fair. Her two contemporary romances, By All Appearances and A Night Divine, are set in the Seattle area. A mother and grandmother, Dawn lives with her husband in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Favorite things include dark chocolate, cinnamon, popcorn, strong coffee, good wine, the mountains, family time, and Masterpiece Theatre. Readers can find her at www.dawnkinzer.com.
