Jennifer Dawson

Jennifer Dawson is the author of the popular "Something New" series, a collection of spicy small-town romances published by Kensington. She also writes the darker contemporary romance series "Undone" and the steamy "Love & Other Disasters" series, inspired by real-life dating experiences. Her works span multiple subgenres within romance, blending humor, emotion, and compelling character dynamics.

Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Dawson holds a psychology degree from DePaul University, where she met her husband at the library—though she insists she wasn’t checking him out at the time. Despite never aspiring to be a writer in her youth, she began crafting stories after growing dissatisfied with a book she was reading. What started as a spontaneous creative outlet evolved into a successful career.

Now residing outside Chicago with her family and a energetic dog, Dawson balances writing with parenting and an ever-growing to-do list. Her transition from aspiring international spy to romance author reflects her playful approach to storytelling, which continues to resonate with readers.
