Meet Our Team


Meet Dawn | Owner/Co-Founder
Hello, I'm Dawn, an 80's enthusiast with a passion for classic rock and country music, back when it wasn't cool. IYKYK (wink) My love for the color pink and Gerber Daisies reflects my vibrant personality. When it comes to reading, I'm drawn to romance novels with a touch of mystery, savoring stories that blend heartfelt emotions with intriguing twists.
​
When not doing DIY projects, I most ​love laying in my hammock, getting lost in stories where hearts race and plot twists keep me entangled. If there’s a good romance with some suspense thrown in, you bet I’m there, savoring every page.
​​
Darci pulled me back into the world of literature during the Twilight era, and she’s been motivating me to keep this literary journey alive and carve out time for myself, something I hope "The Plot Twist" inspires you to do!

Meet Darci | Operations Manager
Hufflepuff, Science Nerd, Mom
Hi! I’m Darci, co-founder and plot coordinator for The Plot Twist. For five years, I was knee-deep in beakers and equations as a High School Chemistry and Physics teacher. But somewhere along the line, I started spending more time pondering the next plot twist in my book than the next lesson plan. That’s when I realized my love for teaching science had slowly evolved into a passion for reading—oops!
​
My bookish journey began with Judy Blume and the Magic Treehouse series. Fast forward to today, and my reading preferences have evolved into an all-consuming love for romance. If there’s a chance to mix a bit of tension with some morally grey characters, count me in!
​
So, if you’re up for discussing the latest romantic releases or need a recommendation for a book that’s guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and maybe sleep deprived a little, let’s chat. Here’s to a life full of plot twists, romantic escapades, and a whole lot of reading joy!

Meet Ashley | Content Creator
Slytherin, Spooky Vibes, Boy Mom
Hi! I’m Ashley! My love for reading started with The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe and Percy Jackson -now it has slightly taken a detour to the dark side of romance.
​
I am currently a Director of a Childcare center and have a 5 year old son who just started Kindergarten this year!
​
When I'm not wrangling kids or taking care of my own, you will always see me with a book/kindle in my hand or my audiobook running. I just recently got back into reading and have read a total of 70 books since April of this year.. don't judge.
​
I am so excited to be a part of The Plot Twist and look forward to meeting & connecting with other book lovers. My job is to create content that resonates with you and makes you fall in love with reading again, too! ​​​​

Meet Lian | Content Creator
Slytherin, Photography, Dog Mom
Hi! I’m Lian! I graduated from Lubbock Christian University in 2021 with a B.A. in Psychology, but my real passions have always been content creation and reading.
My love for reading started early with The Boxcar Children, and since then, I’ve dabbled in just about every genre. These days, I’m constantly switching it up between fantasy, romance, thrillers, and contemporary fiction!
When I’m not curled up with a book, I’m out running, hanging out with my husband, or spoiling my two sweet pups.
I’m so grateful to have met Darci and to be part of this incredible community, living out my book loving dreams!
