KATHERINE BRANDON (GINA'S ALTER EGO) |
About Gina Ardito |
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. |
