Gina Wilkins

Best-selling, award-winning author Gina Wilkins sold her first novel to Harlequin in 1987, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. She is the author of 115 Harlequin books. Her psychological suspense novel, WAKE ME, is a Kindle exclusive release. Whether through drama, humor or suspense, the underlying theme in her storytelling has always been "the universally-identifiable search for a safe place to call home." She is a four-time winner of the respected Maggie Award for Excellence sponsored by Georgia Romance Writers and was nominated for a Lifetime Achievement Award by the reviewers of Romantic Times magazine. A lifelong resident of central Arkansas, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Arkansas State University and worked in advertising and multi-media employee training before launching her writing career. She has been married for more than forty years to her husband, John, with whom she raised two daughters and a son, all pursuing careers in science and medicine.
