Her father, Richard, was a musician, composer and conductor, her mother, Virginia, an actor, architect and accomplished artist in several mediums. While Ginna was in her mother's womb, Richard composed hymns and played them on the piano to ease Virginia's dreams. Morning reveille blasted through the household intercom at 6am and usually included a Sousa march. After moving to California as a teenager, Ginna experienced 14 years on the stages of community theaters, with occasional bits in film and TV. Ginna's passion for organic growing and cooking beautiful food led her to myriad venues where she reigned as chef, from a small conference center in Calistoga to the Chopra Center for Well Being in La Jolla, and a few cafes and restaurants in between.Ginna began her writing career at age nine with How to be Obnoxious in 25 Easy Lessons (written at the suggestion of her irritated big brother). Now lost to history, Obnoxious is remembered as a small comic book with stick figure cartoons, stapled in the middle. Ginna's first cookbook, A Simple Celebration, the Nutritional Program for the Chopra Center for Well Being, was published by Random House/Harmony Books in 1997. While honing her writing skills, Ginna served for eight years as Operations Director and Event Planner for Carmel Music Society, the oldest performing arts non-profit west of the Mississippi. Following that, for another seven years she planned and managed major events for the Carmel Bach Festival and other West Coast organizations. Ginna has written five other cookbooks, including The Soup Kit, a comprehensive guide to making gourmet broths and soups; Bonnebrook and The Gingerbread Farm, the first two volumes in her cooking memoir series; First You Grow the Pumpkin, about growing, making, and preserving culinary treats; and her latest, Once a Baker, 100 Bakery Favorites (2022). Ginna's previous novels are Looking for John Steinbeck, Deke Interrupted and Humming in Spanish, the first three volumes in her ongoing Lavandula Series, a saga about coming of age in California in the 1960s. Bear Me Away to a Better World is her 11th book.Ginna lives on the Pacific Rim with her husband, David Gordon, musician, book designer, and author of two non-fiction books. Together they run Lucky Valley Press, a boutique book design and pre-press company serving independent authors throughout the US.Learn more about Ginna at www.luckyvalleypress.comпоказать меньше
