Lisa Dawn Tynes

Lisa Dawn Rogolsky was born and raised in New Jersey, where she attended Ramapo College of New Jersey to study screen writing. When she realized she could not make a stable living as a writer, she moved to Florida in 2008 to work as a cast member at Walt Disney World and decided to write only as a hobby. Since then, she has self-published five fantasy-themed middle grade novellas under the pseudonym "Lisa Dawn," which are all available on Amazon. In 2009, Lisa realized that working at theme park would not allow her to pursue her dream of being part of the film industry, she she attended the DAVE (Digital Animation and Visual Effects) School in Orlando, which landed her a job as a stereoscopic rotoscope artist in late 2010, causing her to move across the country to Los Angeles, California. While living in California, she has also dabbled in some work as a background actor and continues to pursue various methods of creative storytelling.
