Dawn Lee is a wannabe homesteader, a coffee addict, and a flawed but functional Christian. When she's not writing, she's kicking cancer's butt, dressing the wounds from playing with her cat, and telling her five kids "I told you so."

“Ms. McKenna is able to introduce you to a character and make them so lifelike and real, that you're certain she's telling you about someone she knows very well. Florida writers need to watch out, or better still read Dawn McKenna's books. She's the real deal.......Wayne Stinnett, author of the best-selling Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure series

The Forgotten Coast

Florida Suspense Series

In the quaint, coastal town of Apalachicola, FL, sinister things are afoot, as sinister things tend to be.

Meet Lt. Maggie Redmond. Bold. Honorable. Damaged. and welcome to Maggie’s hometown in the Florida Panhandle.

Here you’ll find oystering and shrimping, Little League, and backyard barbeques. Sprawling historic homes, simple cottages, and strong families. But in a town where everyone knows everyone, there are an awful lot of secrets…

It’s up to Maggie and Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton, her best friend, boss and the man she’s falling for, to solve the puzzling, and often dangerous crimes.

You’ll meet Bennett Boudreaux, the town’s most powerful and dangerous man. His charm and appeal have gotten to Maggie, and despite knowing what he’s capable of—and what’s he done—she can’t help but feel safe in his presence and oddly drawn into a friendship with the man who can’t be good for her.

Single mom Maggie has a strong, loving family looking out for her, including her two kids, Coco, her Catahoula Parish Leopard Hound, and her enigma of a rooster, named Stoopid. You’ll feel right at home, but don’t get too comfortable… there’s always a bullet with Maggie’s name on it. Or Wyatt’s. Maybe even Bennett’s.

With rapid fire twists and turns, suspense that keeps you turning the pages, dry humor, and romance without the heat that still warms you up—it’s no wonder readers are hailing this bestselling series from Dawn Lee McKenna.

Buckle up and start reading… see you at low tide.
