Dale Mayer is a USA Today bestselling author who writes for the young, the old and those in-between – no matter what the age. Some of her books are hot, some are sweet. Some will keep you up at night with a light on to keep the boogie man away and some you’ll want to cuddle close.
She’s long given up on trying to fit a specific genre. Instead she honors the stories that come to her – and some of them are crazy, break all the rules and cross multiple genres!
And that’s okay too.
There is one guarantee with each book – it will be a great read – each and every time.

Very informative, I have my own style but I will try to use dictation to compose a work on a project in the near future
