Author bio

May Dawson writes the kind of paranormal and fantasy romance that throws readers into trouble fast. Public author bios describe her as a native New Yorker who now lives in Virginia, where she is raising two red-headed kids and a small crowd of cats. They also make her interests clear right away: magic, strong women, and the men who love them.

Her books move.

Dawson made her debut in 2017 with Wild Angels, the opening book in Lilith and Her Harem. That early series already shows a lot of what she likes to do, a heroine in over her head, supernatural danger closing in, and romance that grows out of shared survival. From there, she built a big backlist quickly, moving from haunted asylums and afterlife quests to magic academies, wolf packs, fae courts, dragon kingdoms, and darker college settings.

If you want a good sense of her fantasy side, books like One Kind of Wicked, Wandering Queen, and Forbidden Honor are useful signposts. They all mix big romantic stakes with fast plot, but they do it in different ways, through a magic academy, a stolen fae past, or a dragon shifter kingdom where the rules were never written for the heroine. Even when the worldbuilding gets bigger, Dawson tends to keep the emotional center tight.

She clearly likes heroines who have to fight their way into spaces that do not want them there.

That shows up again in series like Their Shifter Academy and The Darkest Mark, where the pressure comes from pack politics, hidden power, grief, and the question of who gets to belong. Her books often circle the same ideas: found family, women refusing to stay powerless, desire tangled up with danger, and men who are not always easy to trust. The tone can swing from playful banter to real menace, sometimes in the same chapter.

Dawson has also written a good number of collaborations, and those books show how easily she can shift tone while keeping her core interests intact. With Helen Scott she wrote the Prisoners of Nightstone books. With C.R. Jane she moved into darker contemporary territory in Rich Demons of Darkwood and Rich Demons of Hockey. She also teamed up with Alexa B. James for Angels of Chaos, with Lacey Carter Andersen for books tied to God Fire Academy and Guild of Assassins, and with Alex Lidell for the omegaverse novel Lethal Heat. The shared thread is still there: sharp pressure, messy loyalty, and heroines who keep going anyway.

She is prolific.

That matters with May Dawson, because reading her is often about the binge. Many of her books are built as linked arcs rather than neat standalones, and once one secret breaks open there is usually another problem waiting right behind it. Readers who like academy settings, paranormal politics, reverse harem structure, and a heroine who bites back tend to find plenty to work with here.

These days, the public picture is simple and human. She is a New Yorker turned Virginian, still writing stories about magic, danger, and complicated love, while life at home includes kids, cats, and what sounds like a fair amount of noise. It fits the books, really. They are crowded, restless, emotional, and hard to leave halfway through.
