Dawn Doig - Book Promotion Library Featured Author



Authors in the shadows can lead very interesting lives full of inspiration for the next engaging story: I am the author (and sometimes illustrator) of 12 children's picture books. Three new books were just recently released. I am a certified Canadian audiologist and had an amazing 23-year career that took me to Kuwait, England, and the far north of Canada (Northwest Territories and Nunavut), culminating in an eight year stint as the head of the audiology unit in a large rehabilitation hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2013, 

I went back to school to complete a second master's degree, this time in education, and I am now a teacher of English as an additional language. My husband, an educator with many hats, had followed me around the globe for 23 years and now I follow him. My first job teaching was in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We traded in the parkas, heavy boots, gloves, scarves and pollution masks for short-sleeved shirts, sunglasses and sandals and relocated to Yaoundé, Cameroon almost two years ago. 

Many of my books have been inspired by the children I have worked with as an audiologist and ELL teacher. Most have received 5-star reviews and one recently received a silver medal for cover design. I had the pleasure of reading one of my books to the three and four year old Pre-K classes and it was sheer delight to hear them giggling throughout the reading. I am still very much in the shadows when it comes to selling my books (very difficult from Africa), but it tickles my heart when students find my books in the library and announce, "Ms. Dawn, you're a real live author!" Knowing that my books bring on laughter and tears brings me great joy and I dream that one day my stories will touch more and more people around the world. My time will eventually dawn (pun intended).

A Burro Named Bedford

  A Burro Named Bedford The book’s message is simple: pushing your comfort zone and doing hard things will have positive spillover effects in all areas of life. Written in lyrical verse with bright illustrations, A Burro Named Bedford tells of the journey of Chris and his donkey Bedford as they learn about and train for one of Colorado’s wackiest outdoor events: Burro Racing. Learn how the pair trains, develops helpful habits, and cultivates the positive mindsets that it takes to accomplish tough goals. The pair learns from long-distance hikers, professors, and historians on their way to run a 20-mile race, which initially seemed impossible. The story is made for children ages 4-8.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science

  Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science WHEN FAITH CONFRONTS SCIENCE Dare to question, but be ready to believe. “Does God Exist?” This is an age-old debate. Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.”  This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
