Welcome, Friend!

Where the heck are you? Well, you’ve stumbled into Dana Fraedrich’s weird little corner of the interwebs. Pull up a chair, maybe make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy your visit. Here’s a slice of cake! 🍰

Who is Dana?

Dana Fraedrich is a dog lover, self-professed geek, and author of the steampunk fantasy series Broken Gears, which includes the Amazon bestseller, Out of the Shadows. Dana's books are full of secrets and colorful characters that examine the many shades of grey that paint the world. When she isn't busy writing or attending book shows and author conferences, she can be found playing video games and frolicking among the Bookstagram community (the bookish corner of Instagram).

Even from a young age, she enjoyed writing down the stories that she imagined in her mind. Born and raised in Virginia, she earned her BFA from Roanoke College and is now carving out her own happily ever after in Nashville, TN with her husband and dog. Dana is always writing; more books are on the way!
