ABOUT THE AUTHOR
GINA SEVANI was born and raised in beautiful South Carolina. She still lives there with her adventurous husband, beautiful daughter, and the families two dogs. She learned at an early age that she had a mad love for reading, romance, paranormal, and everything in between.
One night, as she was trying to fall asleep, fictional characters popped into her head and would not leave. Day after day she was running dialogue in her head while trying to perform daily tasks. Those characters would not shut up!
As time passed, she kept them at bay, convinced she didn't have the ability to be an "Author". But late one night, she sat down at the computer, deciding to see if her characters could come to life on the pages. When she finally took a breath, ten thousand words had poured out of her soul. Those words lead to her first novel "Beautifully Damaged."
She enjoys writing and being part of the "Author World" as she likes to call it. Her main goal when it comes to writing is to make you feel something - anything. Laughter, tears, madness or to make you fall in love with the hero/heroine. At the end of the novel if you have felt some type of emotion then she feels her job is complete. Until the next story of course.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS to author Rachel Van Dyken for all of her encouragement and guidance through this journey. She is unbelievably kind.
Beautifully Damaged, being my debut novel, I had so much to learn… still learning.
I would like to thank my editors and Blue Tulip Publishing for all of their support.
Let's not forget music. I'm sure most authors will agree listening to music and certain songs can really help us dive into a scene and express what our crazy minds are thinking.
Last, but certainly not least, thanks to my husband, daughter, friends, and family for all of your unconditional love and support.
