Three Novels.
Three Eras.
One Moral Signature.
Al Dawson spent decades inside the institutions his fiction examines: the Church, the courtroom, the regulatory apparatus. His novels are not written from the outside looking in. They are written from the inside, at the moment things begin to fail.
Every Al Dawson novel begins with a person who trusts the world and ends with a person who understands it. The distance between those two points is where the story lives.
ODYSSEY
The path to creating three unique books, from only ideas to final drafts.
EXPLORATION
Diving deep into ideas and histories to build authentic and compelling worlds.
THE CRAFT
Meticulously sculpting research and inspiration into polished and powerful prose.
My Story
Al Dawson spent decades inside the institutions his fiction examines. He studied for the Franciscan priesthood, practiced regulatory law, and volunteered as a bilingual Red Cross worker in New York City after September 11.
He understands, from the inside, how institutions work. And how they fail the people who trusted them. That knowledge is the foundation of three novels: Searching for Noriko (2021), Priest (2024), winner of the 2025 Feathered Quill Gold Award for Adult Fiction, and Borderlines (2026).
He lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with his wife Jane. He publishes under Luna del Lobo Books.
