During the pandemic, I picked up several new hobbies. I learned how to raise houseplants. I also finally learned how to use a sewing machine.  The Knitting Club Gals is a sweet romance series that sprung up from my newfound love of sewing and my longtime appreciation of romances that include a strong group of loyal girlfriends. I've always relied on my female friendships for good advice, a sympathetic ear, and countless moments of humor. In The Dating Pact, the first book of the series, you'll meet Everly Knight, the lone sewing enthusiast in a group of knitters. Her friends rope her into joining a dating pact where each woman agrees to go on dates selected by her friends.  In Everly's case, her dates turn hilariously disastrous... until Wyatt Alexander, Everly's best friend from college, comes back into town...  Curious to see how they get together?

Hi friends, It's no secret that these past two years have been difficult for everyone. As an author, I've found solace in writing hope-filled stories that celebrate friendship, healthy relationships, and community. And as a mom and a teacher, I've been particularly encouraged by the strength and resilience I see every day in my kids.  That's why this year I've decided to donate a portion of my book profits to  Unicef , an international organization dedicated to improving the lives of children all over the world.  While I don't know what the next year holds, I will continue to stay the course and write love stories that have a sprinkle of magic, a touch of humor, and a whole lot of heart. Thank you so much for joining me on this creative adventure. Every page read, comment, review, email, and book purchased encourage me to keep on dreaming and telling stories. Without you, none of this would be possible.  Happy New Year! And now, back to writing! ~Ginger

  Dear Readers, XOXO, Violet comes out in a month and I am SO. FREAKING. EXCITED.  I love Violet and Wesley as a couple so much.  Of all the characters in the East Beach gang, Violet's been the easiest to write because we share similar personalities. We're both nerdy, painfully shy in front of new people, and prone to brain dump information when we get nervous.  And we both love plants. ( You can see all my planty adventures on my IG feed. )  So it made sense that I wanted to give her the opportunity to come out of her shell, have her moment to shine, and experience a happily ever after.  While plotting XOXO, Piper  (the first book in the East Beach series), Wesley's confident and charismatic personality kept stealing the show. He's the guy everybody loves hanging out with because he's fun, flirty, and doesn't take life too seriously. That was my initial impression of him too when I chose him to be Asher's best friend. But as I began writing, I realized that

  XOXO, Piper , the first book in my East Beach High Series, comes out in a couple of weeks. I'm so nervous and excited to share this sweet romance with all of you because it feels like quite a departure from my previous YA fantasy novels .  2020 did a real number on me.  Several family members got sick with Covid and a few people passed away. I've always been an avid reader of fantasy, but this past year I found myself reaching for romances instead. I needed stories about "normal" life and I craved a happy ending. And that's why I wrote this new high school romance series. Each book shares the story of imperfect characters overcoming obstacles from their past to find swoon-worthy first love (with a lot of help from their friends.)   I really hope you enjoy this series!  (And if you love book soundtracks, I created this East Beach High Playlist on Youtube. It will give you all the best angsty-first-love feels.) Read on, friends! Ginger

Hi friends! I published   my first book   on Amazon almost a year ago. It’s been a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, but this past week I was excited to donate a portion of the money I made from book sales to   this organization   that helps victims of sex trafficking.  If you’ve read my   YA fantasy series , you’ll know that while it’s clean (very few swear words + a clean romance), several of the characters have to overcome difficult pasts.  I’m a firm believer that life is both messy and beautiful. That's why I write my characters to reflect that truth and why I’m glad to support an organization that helps exploited children and young adults transition to a healthy and hope-filled life.  Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Now... I'm back to editing!  And if you'd like to hear from me on a weekly basis, subscribe to my NL for snippets of my life, fun internet finds, a funny meme (or two), and free reads!

Usually, I read a ton of fantasy. But during the past year, I've been devouring romances. (I need an HEA!) So, I figured I'd try my hand at writing a sweet YA romance. Fingers crossed it will come out late Spring next year. ♥️If you like donuts, sassy characters, and sweet HEAs (with grand gestures), you'll love this book. Stick around for more sneak peeks!!! Excited? You can listen to my Girl Power soundtrack while you wait!
