Jan Dawson
Jan Morrow Dawson began visiting the Outer Banks with her family in 1964. She has had previous careers in marketing and public relations, in broadcast journalism, and in the non-profit sector through the local, national and international YMCA movements. In 2005 she did humanitarian work in Kosovo with the United Methodist Committee on Relief. When she returned to Hatteras in 2015 to care for her mother, she reconnected with her old beach boyfriend after a 40-plus year separation and they married in 2016. She then spent eight years in the hospitality business at the Cape Hatteras Motel doing everything from laundry to handling the front desk to social media. Now both retired from the motel business, the Dawsons reside in Buxton on Hatteras Island in the home her parents built. Building a Little Love is her fourth book, following the trilogy Storm Season, Hooked on You, and Tangled Lines.
