Some of my favorite things are belly dance, fairies, and romance, romance, romance. I am a true princess at heart and love my happily-ever-afters. Since the boys are both out of the nest, I fill my time with writing, dogs, cats, and ballroom dance, which hubby recommends all men take up as a way to impress their ladies. My website is www.GiaDawn.com. Here is a quick history of my story as a writer:After several deaths in the family and a health scare of my own, I quit writing back in 2008 after releasing several titles with Samhain Publishing. When my son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes--young adult onset--in May of this year, I did what any good mother would. Cried for several days and then went to check out the Brenda Novak Auction where I bid on, and won, a three chapter critique from Ellora's Cave!! I pitched to the lovely Julie Naughton at the Readers and Writers weekend sponsored by Lori Foster and Duffy Brown in June, and voila, the Red Masks Series was born. The first in the series, A Taste of Winter, will be releasing November 8 2013.Thanks, Gia
