Dawn Lee McKenna is the author of the bestselling The Forgotten Coast Florida series
.
The series, set in Apalachicola, FL, is a noirish suspense series, dripping with atmosphere and flawed, human, witty characters.
Dawn Lee McKenna was born and raised in Florida and now live in Tennessee. The South is as much a main character in her books as any of the people that populate them. (Bio from Dawn Lee McKenna’s Amazon Author Profile)
