Randee is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy, and horror) at night while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, NBCNews.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times, and Emmy Magazine.
You may have seen her name in other publications over the years, including Soap Opera Digest and The Boston Phoenix, E! Online, New Musical Express, and Mojo. She contributed to a French book about American television. She's got a fair amount of short fiction in anthologies and authored the short story/poetry compilation Home for the Holidays.
In The Only Song Worth Singing, the power of friendship is one of the major themes blended with myth and the power of music. Imagine Irish folklore combined with mysticism – makes for a magical read.
Author Randee Dawn tells the story of three best friends and bandmates from Ireland who set off on their first U.S. tour in the 90s, but have no idea they’re being pursued by mythological characters with supernatural powers.
Critics call it one of the most entertaining and truthful representations of the music touring world, while the author really makes readers believe there are mystical creatures with the trio on tour.
Randee spends much of her time in the evening focusing on speculative fiction across categories like sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications that include Today.com, NBCNews.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times, and more.
