Maddie Dawson

Maddie Dawson is an American author of women’s fiction novels. Maddie Dawson grew up in the South, surrounded by a family of wild storytellers who swore their most outrageous tales were true—from alligator attacks to a love-struck pilot buzzing the house in a stolen jet. With a childhood steeped in drama, humor, and everyday chaos, storytelling became second nature. Along the way, she worked a string of odd jobs—cat-sitter, Taco Bell taco-maker, medical typist—always dreaming up stories in the background. Though she dabbled in journalism, Maddie found her voice writing about the emotional truths of relationships, regrets, and the messiness of life. Now living in Connecticut, she spends her days crafting novels filled with vivid characters and echoes of the unforgettable stories that shaped her.
