Dawn U. Leonard

Dawn U. Leonard is a retired career public officer, health and safety practitioner, author, community activist, youth mentor and the founder of the BVI Cancer Society. She's a wife, a mother of three children, and a grandmother.

She is a first-time published author and immersive family-oriented individual. Dawn is passionate about the safeguarding of marriages, as seen in her new novel, Turn of Events, and also in the Marriage Spa, a Marriage Enrichment tool that she and her husband developed to help reignite the love and spice in marriages.

While this may be her first published book, Dawn absolutely loves writing! From a young age, she used diaries and numerous letters to pen pals to express her thoughts. Dawn also loves storytelling.

Professionally, as a trained and certified Dietitian and health coach she encourages her mentees to write their goals, feelings and passions. As a practicing safety and health professional, writing has always been her way of holding herself and others accountable.

Dawn has given her life and service to the development of her Territory of the Virgin Islands, and has always served in positions that allow her to develop others while charting new paths for the advancement of the land she loves dearly.

From teaching, to community health practitioner, to Health and Safety Coordinator, active Rotarian, and community volunteer, she has helped and continues to help develop the British Virgin Islands and Virgin Islanders alike.

I guarantee that you will gain an insight into Dawn's life's passion and her joy for writing through this, her maiden book. Not only would you be able to relate in some way to one or all of the characters, but I am confident that you will thoroughly enjoy the awesome reading experience.
