While it sounded so simple, it was very difficult but it was the push she needed. She was prodded into it when her husband told her to pursue her passion for telling stories. She currently blogs about young adult thriller and horror on “YA Scream Queens” and is also a member of the Young Adult League.ĭawn Kurtagich had been writing for years when she decided she wanted to become a professional author. As a sixteen-year-old, she aspired to be an astronomer and author and even spent a month at the Cavendish Laboratories in Cambridge as a form of internship. While she has a lot of interesting tales she could put down on paper, she prefers to save such for Halloween festivities. Growing up in Africa, she has been witness to a lot of strange things such as a troop of baboons stealing underwear, an elephant stampede, and a giraffe’s tongue. The reason for this was that she was born to a single mother and a British globe-trotter and hence she spent much of her young years in the African deserts, cities, and the bush. By the time she was an eighteen-year-old, she had studied in fifteen schools in Africa and the United States. She published her debut novel “The Dead House” in 2015 and has never looked back since. Dawn Kurtagich is an author of spooky, creepy and psychologically sinister young adult fiction where grown-ups often have dark secrets, boys see men as monsters and girls go insane.
