Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I'm Dakota Owyn, and I write action romance novels.

For me, the most important part of writing is making the world feel real. I’ve always believed that to write a story that feels authentic, you can't just stay behind a desk—you have to get out and experience things for yourself.

I love to travel, not just to see new sights, but to really try and soak in the culture and atmosphere of a place. I guess you could say I take a "method" approach to my settings. Before I can write about a location, I need to walk the streets, listen to the sounds, and get a feel for the local rhythm.

While the stories I write are fiction (definitely not my biography!), the details that bring them to life are very real. The way a specific city feels at dawn, the tension of an unfamiliar environment, or the descriptions of a landscape—those are all pulled directly from my own travels and experiences. My goal is to make you feel like you’re right there, living the story alongside the characters.

You'll likely see many photos from my trips on my social media. Just a fair warning, I’m an author, not a professional photographer! They aren't always perfectly framed or lit, but they're real moments I've captured along the way, and they’re the sparks that inspire the worlds you read about.
