Caren Dickson is a contemporary fiction author who writes about strength and resilience during difficult times. Her work centers on women facing divorce, loss, and the reality of starting over. She writes about these experiences with attention to both the emotional weight and the practical demands they bring.

Her debut novel, New Beginnings, offers a look at self-discovery, life after divorce, and second chances. Caren writes to explore the questions that come up when someone’s life changes completely. Who are you when everything familiar is gone? How do you rebuild when you’re starting from scratch? Her characters work through these questions in real time, making mistakes and finding their way forward.

Caren is a mother of two adult children and lives in Northern Virginia with her family. When she’s not writing, she spends time with her dogs and pursues various creative projects. She crochets, experiments with needle felting, and often finds herself starting something new before the previous project is complete.
