Our thanks to Burscough's Dawn Chapman for contacting the busy QLocal news desk with news on her thriving writing career.

Said Dawn: "I write Sci Fi fantasy in a genre known as Gamelit, think 'Ready Player One' or 'Tron', with books based on actually being inside, playing or stuck inside a game.

"It's been around a while but the American market is pretty big, and where I sell most of my books.

"It is a niche market, but with the different genres I write I earn a good living. My most recent books were published with Mountaindale Press last year, run by Dakota Krout. https://www.mountaindalepress.com/ and I'm publishing the next four with some luck through this year."

All her books also are in audiobook form, bigger in the US than the UK, and she's been nominated for the Indie Audiobook awards three years running, https://www.independentaudiobookawar...-event-details

She made the leap of giving up a day job in 2019 to write full time; here's her Amazon link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dawn-Chapman/e/B014A0RUBC
