About Me

The "working" Ginger Simpson retired from the University of California as an advocate for students.  While there, my involvement in editing and creating publications/forms led me to believe I could write a novel similar to those historical romances I loves so well.  And guess what!  My debut novel was published by small press in 2003.  Since then, I've written many more novels and novellas, all but one contracted for publication.  Writing is in my blood. Thanks to medicine...my very thin blood.

Several of my works have been nominated for awards and recognized as yearly best reads on well-known romance sites.  The reviews I've received have been extremely favorable, with my first book receiving four stars from the Romantic Times Magazine, back when they weren't known for their kindness to e-books.  I joined EPIC in its infancy, let my membership lapse, but have now rejoined. Plus, I maintain membership on as many promotional loops as I can find, such as Bebo, Bookplace, Bookface, Shelfari, Communicati and Myspace.  Besides my own website and blog, I'm also is an avid user of Facebook and Twitter. It's my belief that promotion is never-ending and the essential key to success. And if I have to tweet, I will, although I don't quite understand the entire process. 

 Born and raised in California, I never planned to leave, but a few years ago, my grandson was diagnosed with developmental delays, and I moved to Tennessee.  Now I spends time writing with Sponge Bob Square Pants, Thomas the Train, and Sprout TV playing in the background.  It isn’t as inspiring as the smooth jazz I generally enjoys, but there is great delight in knowing I'm making a difference in Spencer’s life.  My husband, Kelly, is a wonderful supporter and my biggest fan.  He brags that he is the inspiration behind the romantic scenes in my books.  I refuse to confirm or deny his claim.

 I truly recognized a dream with the publication of my first book, but my real hope is to see my work more readily available to the general public. With the sudden growth of e books, I feel encouraged.. Approaching true senior citizen status, I remind myself that a person is never too old to achieve their goals.  Grandma Moses is my heroine.
