Author Gina Ardito shares a little about her upcoming novels.

With Lightning In A Bottle released into the world, here are a few other projects I’m working on for future release:

Book IV of my Calendar Girls series, Memories In December, is slated to be finished and released later this year. In this story, you’ll meet local photographer, Siobhan Bendlow, her meddling grandma, and three love stories in one book that will leave you sighing with delight!

Even Now, a sweet contemporary about a music star who comes back to the hometown girl he abandoned years earlier. She’s now the owner of the local animal shelter and has lots of good reasons to hate his guts. This story is currently sitting with the editor of a large publisher who seems very interested. Fingers crossed we can come to agreeable terms all around.

Another holiday short for the Calendar Girls series, Groomed For Father’s Day, will probably not be available until June 2019, but it’s definitely on the calendar (no pun intended)! In this book, fan faves Evan and Dominick will get their happily ever after – with a bonus!

At long last, it’s time to write the final installment of the Nobody series, Nobody’s Fool, featuring April Raine’s headstrong daughter, Becky, and her on-again-off-again guy, snowboarding champ, Ace Riordan. Estimated release date, early spring 2019.

Finally, I’m eager to start a brand new series that I’m keeping under wraps for now. It’s a minor departure from my usual fare, but these characters are calling to me every chance they get, clamoring to have their voices heard. Those who know the theme love the idea and since it is very different from most other books out there, you’ll have to wait for details.

Lightning in a Bottle by Gina Ardito
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis

After suffering through a humiliating divorce in New York, Bo McKenzie is out of luck, money, and patience. Arriving in Silverton, Texas, she’s bet her last dime on the launch of her craft brewery to get her life back on track. Despite her vow to stay focused solely on the beer business, one man manages to capture her heart. Can she trust him?

Drew Garwood’s one true love has always been serving the legal needs of his neighbors. His greatest trouble is keeping his brother on the right side of the law. When Bo McKenzie sweeps into town, she rouses his passion and provides the spark his life has been missing. Whatever happened before she came to Silverton has left her guarded and suspicious. Can he break down her defenses?

As the two struggle to rein in their wild attraction, secrets and greed could destroy the brewery and force Bo out of town for good – unless Drew can find a way to convince her to stay.

Gina Ardito in her own words 

I kill houseplants. There. Now you know one of my greatest shames. I’m not boasting. I just figure that if you’re reading this, you’re looking for more than how wonderful life is as a writer. You get enough of that elsewhere. Ditto for political rants, how to lose thirty pounds in a week, and creating gorgeous crafts with nothing more than twine and soup cans. My goal is to connect with you, dear reader, even if you’re not a writer, not a New Yorker, not a mother, not a female. We’re human (unless one of us is a spambot), and what we have in common is flaws. So here are a few more of mine:

I sing all the time. I sing songs most people don’t know–jingles from television, crazy stuff I used to listen to on Dr. Demento, Broadway and movie soundtracks, and I can even bum-bum-bum through instrumental music. I sing in the car. In the shower. While I’m grocery shopping. And I headbop while I sing. When I’m not singing, I talk to myself. Just ignore me and move on. You get used to it after a while.

I don’t eat my vegetables. Seriously. I only started eating salad about ten years ago, but I’d still rather have a cookie.

Given the option, I would live in a mall where I would never have to worry about freezing temperatures or too much sun. I’m extremely fair-skinned and could burn under a 60-watt light bulb.

I can’t sleep without background noise so the television’s on all night. If it’s too dark and too quiet, all I have are my thoughts. And even *I* don’t want to be alone with my thoughts.

Don’t ask me to Zumba, line dance, or march in the parade. I have absolutely no rhythm.

I color outside the lines. Not because I’m a rebel, but because I suck as an artist. My artistic ability is limited to being able to draw Snoopy sleeping on his doghouse. And I don’t even draw that well.

Regrets. I have more than a few.

My favorite activity is sleep, and I’m pretty good at it. I don’t clock a lot of hours, but I can powernap like a Persian cat and rejuvenate within ten minutes.

I consider shopping and dining out excellent therapy for anything wrong in my life.

My feet are always cold. Always. My husband of more than a quarter century claims it’s because I’m an alien sent to Earth to destroy him. (He might be right about that.)

Coming to my house for a visit? Unless you’ve given me plenty of advance notice, be prepared. My floor will not be vacuumed, there will be dishes in my sink, and I only make my bed when I change the sheets once a week (I’m climbing back into it ASAP. Why make it?) Housecleaning is not high on my priority list. Okay, to be totally honest, it’s not on the list at all.

I can resist anything…except ice cream.

Since this is our first date, I figure I’ve revealed enough secrets for now. But if you’ve read this bio and think I might be the author for you, pick up one of my books or stalk my website.
