As part of a large Irish/American family, in which spinning colorful yarns was commonplace, becoming a writer was a natural career choice for Ginna.
She married young, had a daughter, and divorced. As a single mom and the sole breadwinner, raising a child alone became her top priority. Ginna also managed to attend college part-time in the evenings, which left precious little time to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. However, during those years she continued to keep a journal and occasionally wrote short stories for her own gratification.
Then, after seven years of being single, Ginna met her soul mate. Following a lovely yearlong courtship, she and Brad married.
Ginna sold her first novel in 1983, after winning the Golden Heart Award, given by Romance Writers of America for the best unpublished novel in a category. She has been working as a full-time writer ever since.
