Dawn's Alter Ego

...the fog is lifted, the earth has shifted, it raised the gifted...

About Me

My name is Dawn Scovill. (You might want to write that down.) I'm the author of IMMORTAL BONDS (www.myspace.com/immortalbonds), a paranormal novel released by ArcheBooks Publishing in March 2007. I'm also a mother and a wife (one helluva wife, I might add!), a contributing "Sex Ed" writer for CLOSER magazine (available only in South Florida--check my Top Friends), and a periodic blogger (I know, I know; I promise I'll get another post up soon!). But, despite all the things I AM, I've been a lot of things before today. And your guess is as good as mine what I'll be tomorrow. If you want to know more than that, you'll have to ask...or, better yet, read my blog.
If you hadn't already guessed, some of the material here is UNSUITABLE FOR MINORS AND THE EASILY OFFENDED. If you're either one, you might want to consider logging off and going back to The Disney Channel. :)
WHAT'S THE P-LIST? If you're REALLY brave, 18 or older, AND not related to me, ask me to add you to my blog's Preferred or P-List. (Send me your email address--the one you use to login here--to speed the process.) The P-List distinction allows you to access blog posts that don't merely push the envelope, they shove it up against a concrete wall and beat the shit out of it. But that's just my opinion.

My Interests

Writing (of course), reading, boating, diving, fishing, snorkeling, singing in the car at the top of my lungs, and any activity that involves Jack Daniel's.

I'd like to meet:

THIS guy:

My Blog

An Army of One (pictures to follow...)

For years, long before I even knew for sure that I'd be an author, I'd planned to dedicate my first book to my son. Having another human being to take care of didn't change me overnight, but it did ev...

GeTtiNg iT -- In Review...

It's been so long since we checked in on Ted and his friends, I thought a recap was in order. Plus, it seemed like a good time to summarize GeTtiNg iT for those who are unfamiliar with the series. So,...

Obviously, it was something I said... (Adult Language)

Buck the fuck up.   That's what I keep repeating to myself: Just buck the fuck up. I've got work to do. The book isn't going to market itself. If I had a publisher with a larger promotional budg...

Bad Boys: Your Stories Needed!!

We can't live with 'em, but we can't get enough of 'em. You know the type: The cool swagger; the cocky confidence; the fuck-all-ya'all attitude. Everybody knows a Bad Boy when they see one. He's ...

Dawn "Does" the Pacific Northwest!

I haven't forgotten you. Honest. In fact, I think about you quite a lot. Problem is, jumping online isn't as simple here as it is at home. Up on Michigan Hill, where my parents live, I have no cell ph...

"GeTtiNg iT" is on hiatus

Simply preparing to leave has convinced me that, as much as I'd like to continue posting installments while I'm out of town, it ain't happening. Sorry. I will be logging on and checking in occasionall...

The Erotica is Going .... Going .... Gone

A few years ago, I was sitting at a high-top table in a trendy downtown bar with two women I considered to be good friends. The conversation at some point turned to my lack of fashion sense and d...
