Lastly, a very special thank you to my development editor, Lori, for her guidance and support in bringing the novel to life. Unlike some editors I’ve worked with, she never tried to inject her personal views into the story or to rewrite characters or events as she’d want to see them. Lori always supported my vision, giving me excellent insight into areas to address, such as pace, clarity, word choice, tone, and mood. For that, I am most grateful.
About the Author
MJ Howson was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. An avid reader of thriller and horror stories, MJ always planned to one day write a book. This dream was the typical “someday” ideal. During his 20s, he wrote his first manuscript and began the hunt for an agent. Feedback came back as, “We love your writing style, but look for new material.” Before he could continue, his day job soon took up all of his free time.
After a successful career in IT, MJ finally decided to pursue his dream of being an author. The advent of print-on-demand and e-books made this goal something he could somewhat easily follow. While launching The Tallow Series, MJ connected with a publisher that offered an opportunity to do some co-author work. Although it forced him to pause writing his next solo outing, it also proved to be a great learning experience. MJ still has a long list of story ideas and looks forward to sharing them with the world.
MJ adopted the tagline “The Terror is Real” as the focus for his first series of horror/thriller books. Escapist, paranormal, and supernatural stories are always good for a scare. However, the tales that run the risk of being able to come true are the ones that will really haunt you. Some may argue that Dawn of Eve falls into the supernatural. Does it? Was Eve possessed? Or were the voices in Dawn’s head the entire time? The answer depends on what you believe.
