Dottie Sines

Dottie scratched out her first attempts at fiction as a little girl transfixed by the books she read . . . Curious George and Nancy Drew, Gone with the Wind and Little Women . . . all those lazy summer days on the front porch swing of her small-town, Midwestern home. ‍Since then, she has contributed to multiple newspapers and magazines, and her short stories and non-fiction pieces have won many awards. She has twice been honored as one of ten finalists in the short story contest of the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park, which published her award-winning stories in the third and fifth editions of its literary journal, Hemingway Shorts. ‍Where the Stars Cross, a historical romance set during the Great Depression, is her first novel.
