Wick'd Reads

Wick'd Books, Candles, and Potions
What A Wick'd Way To Burn........

Author Gia Dawn

I have loved reading romance since I was a girl. I started with Harlequins in my early teens--I used to sneak them into church because the sermons were so long, much to the chagrin of my grandmother--moved on to the big historicals of the 80's, and decided to write my own at age 24. Not that I actually finished one.

I am married to my college sweetheart and we have two teenage sons. After the birth of my second son, I did finish my first book, but did not manage to get it published. So I did what anyone else would do--studied martial arts and bellydancing, opened my own New Age bookstore, and became a licensed massage therapist. Luckily my husband has patiently dealt with all my eccentricities over the years.

Then I discovered erotic romance and a whole new world opened up for me. Within five months I had finished and sold my first manuscript, a medieval fantasy which will be a summer 2007 release from Samhain Publishing, and am now happily writing the rest of the series. My big brush with fame is that I graduated from college with Woody Harrelson, Hanover College, Hanover IN, made famous by his character Woody Boyd in Cheers.

I still live in Southern Indiana, but try to make frequent visits to my home state of Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains that I love, especially when the leaves begin to turn as autumn rolls around.
