Dawn(DM) Barclay: By day, a mild-mannered salesperson, wife, mother, rescuer of senior shelter dogs, competitive trivia player and author groupie, happily living just north of New York City. By night, an author of psychological/domestic/romantic suspense with some women's fiction and nonfiction thrown in. Publications Saving Grace: A Psychological Thriller and Murder Worth The Weight just two of many other books available on Amazon to purchase. My background includes stints in travel marketing, travel journalism, meeting planning, public relations and real estate. I was, for a long and happy time, an award-winning magazine writer and editor. Then kids happened. And I needed to actually make money. Now they're off doing whatever it is they do (of which I have no idea since they won't friend me on Facebook) and I can spend my spare time weaving tales of debauchery and whatever else tickles my fancy. The main thing to remember about my work is that I am NOT one of my characters. For example, unlike as a real estate broker, I've never played Bondage Bingo in one of my empty listings. As a yo-yo dieter, I've never offed anyone at my local diet clinic. While I'm a bit paranoid, I've never suspected my husband of wanting to murder me for my inheritance. Well, that's not entirely true, but let's go with that for now. And while I've volunteered at senior centers, ​I've never mastered the hula hoop. But that's not to say I haven't wanted to...

Midgies - A horror comedy about a mother and her teenage daughter’s road trip through the Scottish Highlands takes a deadly turn when they encounter a swarm of mutant midges. The film blends Scotland’s quick-witted humor with classic monster horror tropes for a universally entertaining experience. Gearing up for full production next year and are actively seeking investment to bring the full vision to life. Right now, one of our biggest goals is to demonstrate the film’s international appeal through engagement with the trailer.
