Hello,
I'm Fawn
A bit about me...
My name is Fawn Brokaw Doyle. I have a background in journalism and creative writing, with a BFA in Industrial Design from Rochester Institute of Technology.
Currently, I'm a flatware designer, wife, and toddler mom with a nocturnal habit of researching history and writing. I enjoy reading about obscure history, traveling, visiting state parks, and learning about herbalism and mycology. I like to learn craft skills—I crochet, felt, metalsmith, and make mozzarella from scratch—just not all at the same time.
At the end of most days, I write and research. I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to history and genealogy. I can't help but look for the short, intriguing side notes that inspire and deserve a fully rendered story arc.
Historical fiction is my favorite genre because it's transportive. It's the closest thing we have to time travel. My favorite authors include Ariel Lawhon, Ruta Sepetys, Lauren Groff, Amy Harmon, Maggie O'Ferrell, Diana Gabaldon, and Sara Donati.
