Born in Connecticut, raised in Florida, S L Dwyer has lived all over the country. She began as a nurse and went back to school for an engineering degree. Then on to finance and technology. Diverse, yes. Satisfying, no. Her real love was writing.

S L Dwyer couldn't imagine doing anything else besides writing - books are magic. The world of fiction is so much more exciting than anything you could imagine in everyday life. Dirt has won the B.R.A.G. Medallion and won first place in the CMN contest.
