I live in

---

Dawn McCombs lives in Columbus, Ohio. When her father died, at the same time that her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, she found herself unexpectedly writing a memoir. When she isn't writing about loss she sings karaoke, fantasizes about living on a live-a-board on the West Coast and finds heaps of joy doting on her big-eared rescue pup. She has been published in The Audacity and started a writing community called The Word Weavers.
