Ok, I am absolutely done with the day. Love you, signing off.

Writers weekend in the Berkshires was amazing! We missed the snow starting by a few hours but managed to get in a ton of writing and book talk.

Still time to get yours before the rest of the world. Click the link in the op.👇👇👇👇👇

This is when you know you picked the right place for a writers weekend. #spnfamily #noescape

Writers weekend day 2 began with a trip to Haven Cafe & Bakery. I have to say, it’s been a long time since I actually finished breakfast. These pancakes were amazing.

Getting all your “characters” to sign your first copy? Yeah, that’s the best feeling. #EricBalfour #JensenAckles #MishaCollins #dontturnyourback

A little “Fire on the Mountain” this morning. I have so many on my Canon but can’t find my connector so this is from my 13 Pro, the one with the broken camera lens. #catchingsunrise #photography

Ever wonder what inspires characters? A little bit of insight into "Don't Turn Your Back?" The #SPNFamily might recognize a few fan favorites. A Cas-coded best friend? Dean owns a food truck? And for our #Haven fans, imagine Duke running a surf shack. dawn-gray-books.square.site

Writer's retreat weekend coming up. I'm getting all my notes together and figuring out which project will demand my atteniton in the three days I have uninterrupted space. This is going to be interesting. #5amwritersclub

Bob Marley Radio at work… very chill. Very laid back.

Dear Spam Mail Sender; Please reference which book you happened to be talking about when you state "your book drew me in." I have 22, that tells me nothing. It also tells me it didn't "stick" with you enough to learn the title. All the best, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Me

NO ONE *speaking of celebrities that people are YET AGAIN hounding* OWES YOU ANY PART OG THEIR PRIVATE LIVES. UNLESS THEY SPECIFICALLY SPEAK ABOUT THEIR PRIVATE LIVES, STOP ASSUMING… or find one of your own.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Book mail going out today!! Woo-hoo!!! #dontturnyourback #thanksforordering❤️ dawn-gray-books.square.site

My brain has been so foggy--which is typical for coming back to reality after finishing a WIP--that I forgot I bought a new pair of sneakers. They're still in the box! The box they SHIPPED them in. Happy #5amwritersclub! Time for another coffee.

For those of you who don't know her, and for those of you who do, my friend @phoenixfire2912.bsky.social not only designed the front cover of my soon to be released book, but she did an amazing job on editing, and being my sounding board for the storyline! #SPNFamily Everyone needs a Jenn.

It's almost time!!! dawn-gray-books.square.site

Me: Omg, I just got an email from Rachel Reid. She said she read my book. Him: That's awesome, congratulations. Are you going to reply? Me: No. Him: Why not? Me: This chick is 100% engrossed in everything to do with HR. There's no way she read my book. Also, she doesn't have a public email.

😳😳😳 yay!

Itinerary for our "Don't Turn Your Back" promo trip to California is set. I'm so excited to bring you setting photos from the places in the book. This has been two years in the making (from concept to release) and it's going to be so much fun. Come join in the adventure.

Happy Tuesday. First sunrise I’ve been able to snag in a while. Pretty perfect. No filters. #canont6 #photography

The only literary race I'm running is to see if I can get my word count done before the coffee in my mug gets cold enough that I can't salvage it and have to start over.

So I’m watching “Half Bad” *the bastard son and the Devil Himself* depending on how it’s listed and OMG! I recognized Harriet Cains voice *Phillipa Featherington for those of the #Bridgerton fandom. So cool to see her in such a badass role.

And that, my friends, was all she wrote. For the first draft, anyway. This was so much fun. Onto the next. #ThePackisBack

When you're THIS CLOSE to finishing your first novel of 2026 and all you want to do is THIS because... OMG! It's so good. Yes, I'm psyching myself up.

Well, that's a productive day. Not quite finished yet, but I have all day tomorrow. Let's hope my hands cooperate. #amwriting #fantasydrama #thepackisback

Beta readers and friends who purchased it last weekend. If you've read it, please review it. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Time is ticking! #thriller, #romance, surfing, and taco trucks? What more could you ask for? dawn-gray-books.square.site

Thank you so much, #SPNNorfolk! It was an interesting time between the impending storm, and the lack of coffee (on my part), you were still an interesting place to be. And a special thanks to all who took home The Pack or Don't Turn Your Back. I hope you love them as much as I do.

If I get a desktop coffee warmer for my writing space, is it a tax write-off? There's no books without coffee. It must be a thing, right? I've been at this since 5am and I've reheated several times. Imagine how much more productive I would be NOT having to get up. #5amwritersclub

Hey, #spnVA/#SPNFamily, my thriller romance “Don’t Turn Your Back” is here in Norfolk, VA this weekend at the Sheraton Waterside Norfolk Hotel with two Dean and Cas inspired characters. Come say hi.

I bought this tiny digital camera for something to play around with and it did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised with this. No macro lens, no filter. #photography

30 copies of this book arrived the other day. THIRTY! And they're absolutely perfect. I started reading it again last night. Yes, sometimes I read them after I publish them. It's so much fun. AND WE'RE HEADED TO CALIFORNIA. Yep, touring the "places" in the book, promoting where you, too, can visit.
