Dayna Dunbar is an award-winning novelist published by Ballantine Books. In June 1994, Dayna had an encounter with an extraterrestrial being of light while camping in Sedona, Arizona and got guidance that she would one day write about this race of beings, and that began her writing journey.

Knowing that creating an awakened world with well-developed characters and a compelling storyline was far beyond her skills at that time, she followed guidance and began writing screenplays. She worked on the crew of several films, and this spurred her creativity even further. Dayna attended the University of Santa Monica and received her master’s degree in spiritual psychology. As part of this program, she wrote her first novel, The Saints and Sinners of Okay County, a story about a closeted psychic who overcomes her self-doubt to follow her own inner voice and find her authentic self. Upon graduating, Dayna received the University’s Student of the Year award along with bestselling inspirational author Iyanla Vanzant. Shortly after graduation, Dunbar’s first novel was published to excellent reviews and awards. Her second novel The Wings That Fly Us Home, a sequel to Saints and Sinners, also garnered wonderful reviews.

During this time, Dayna began ghostwriting memoirs for clients as well as writing and inspirational coaching. Then, in 2014, almost exactly twenty years to the day that she had the ET encounter, she was finally guided to begin the novel that started the whole journey, and she received the idea for Awake: The Legacy of Akara, a spiritual sci-fi thriller about an awakened race of beings. She wrote the first draft, but as originally believed, it turned out to be an enormous undertaking, and in order to complete it, she began working with the brilliant Julia Nadine Padawer, who she met at the University of Santa Monica. Together, they labored for seven years to perfect the manuscript and are thrilled to share it with the world at this turbulent time in the evolution of human consciousness.
