Gina Ardito: Romantic Comedy Author

I admit it; I'm far from perfect. I'm a raging control
freak who takes nothing seriously. I've got too vivid an
imagination, an encyclopedic knowledge of useless
information, a soft heart, and a weakness for children,
animals, coffee, and chocolate. I'm also involved in a
long-time love affair with my P.C.

All of these qualities make me difficult to live with for
an extended period of time--a fact that would
automatically vault my husband of twenty-plus years to
sainthood except that he comes equipped with his own
parcel of vices and quirks!

But these same shortcomings in my personality make me a perfect candidate to write
romantic comedy.

Despite my occasional delusions of grandeur, I'm just a typical suburban lady with a
husband (the aforementioned almost-saint), the two best kids ever (and I'm not the least
biased about that fact), a bionic dog, a cat with a foot fetish (and a fondness for lobster,
thanks to hubby's indulgence), and the world's only living "skitten," who apparently
moonlights as an in-home mattress tester.

Together with my best writing pals and partners in crime, Debora Dennis and Candace
Gold, I'm co-founder of Dunes & Dreams RWA, the Eastern Long Island chapter of
Romance Writers of America�.

Since so much lunacy can't exist in a single persona, I also write historical romances under
the pen name, Katherine Brandon.

Oh...and did I mention the day job?

Never mind. We'll save that for another time.
