Dawn O'Porter

TV presenter and writer Dawn O'Porter will turn 46 on January 23

Born in Scotland and raised on the Channel Island of Guernsey, Dawn was a successful TV documentary presenter before turning to writing fiction - her latest novel is Honeybee. She’s married to actor Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) and they have two sons. They spent many years in LA but are now back living in the UK.

Empress

Dawn’s caring side is reflected in card one, the Empress. She founded Choose Love, a charity supporting refugees, and this card of nurturing confirms Dawn needs an outlet like this for her own wellbeing. She lost her mother when she was a small child, and the Empress is also a deep symbol of maternal feelings, and fulfilling these in other aspects of life, as well as her own family.

Ace of Air

The Ace of Air is Dawn’s second card, a lightning strike of creative genius. Dawn’s writing career can go from strength to strength and a shock story idea that comes to her in an instant flash can be the one that grips the world, leading to a movie collaboration with a stand-out, ground-breaking “A” director.

Hermit

Lastly, I draw the Hermit, a card of time away from the world, and the space to explore inner feelings. Islands and remote locations are important, as places for Dawn to reconnect and recharge.
