Dawn Cutler-Tran is an avid board gamer and rock climber who lives on the East Coast of the United States but loves to travel to places near and far as often as she can.

Dawn has always identified as queer, but during the pandemic she finally discovered she was nonbinary (she/they pronouns) and came out to family and friends. This book was part of that process, and she has loved exploring different genderqueer identities like her own through her writing, reading, research, and countless hours watching reels and videos on social media.

Her biggest hope in writing queer fiction is to provide at least one other person out there with characters and storylines that they can recognize themselves, or their friends and loved ones in.
