Being released today is the romantic novel Waiting For A Girl Like Me, book one in the Kissables series, by author Gina Gonkle.
The author has taken a few minutes out
of her busy schedule for a Q&A about her newest novel.
When did you become interested in storytelling?
I knew in 5th grade I wanted to be a writer. It wasn’t until 2002/2003 that I sat down and did it.
What was your first book/story published?
Norse Jewel, a Viking romance in 2013
What inspired you to write Waiting for a Girl Like You?
The book is two stories in one. The Proper Care and Feeding of a Broken Heart came from a brothel I’d heard about in my old hometown of San Diego and some of the escapades I’d heard.
Anything But Safe was inspired by an intersection of an Alicia Rasley workshop and a chance encounter in a parking lot years ago.
What character in Waiting for a Girl Like You is the most/least like you, and in what ways?
