Tina Gerow
Tina Gerow has always had a passion for romance and anything paranormal. And even in school, was encouraged to put her writing skills to good use, but always with the admonishment to ‘stop writing the weird stuff and tone down the sarcasm.’ But what fun is that?! So, in 2003, she finally decided to try her hand at writing a novel, but still firmly embracing the ‘weird stuff and the sarcasm.’ Her first book, Into a Dangerous Mind, recently won the award for Romantic Times Best Small Press Contemporary Paranormal for 2006.
Since then, Tina has published several more books, including the popular Maiden series. She is also writing for Kensington’s Aphrodisia line as Cassie Ryan—the first of her three book erotic paranormal romance series, Ceremony of Seduction, released in August 2007 and the second, Vision of Seduction, scheduled for release in August 2008 .
Tina, an Arizona State University alumnus, belongs to the Romance Writers of America, and is a past president of the local Valley of the Sun Romance Writers Chapter and an active member of the local Desert Rose chapter. She’s an active speaker on several subjects including promotions, character creation, goals & motivation and more. She has spoken at several RWA chapters as well as the Romantic Times Booklovers convention paranormal panel in 2006 & 2007, and has been asked back for 2008.
Tina lives in Arizona with her husband Jon, her son Darian and two orange tabby cats. When Tina isn’t spending time with her family, she’s usually writing, or at some various and sundry writer’s conference, workshop or meeting.
