I had a blast speaking with Author Ash D. Collins (Awyn Dawn) on this episode of The Write Mindset. What began as a conversation about her 111 Magic book naturally morphed into a conversation on the craft of writing. She really brought a lot of great energy, as there was laughter, knowledge, and magic! ~ May our efforts help the community work, grow, and rise together, and keep developing "The Write Mindset." Thomas J. Bellezza #ThomasJBellezza #TheWriteMindset #AuthorsAsOne ASH D. COLLINS / AWYN DAWN | https://linktr.ee/ashdcollins Writing under the name Awyn Dawn, Ash D.

After publishing her second book the following year, Collins moved to London to earn her MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis on fiction. She has since written her third book, 111 Magic, which is scheduled for release this year. She has contributed to two anthologies and written several magazine articles, most notably for Spirituality and Health Magazine and Witchology, and appeared briefly on the BBC.
