Gina L. Dartt, born and raised in the Maritimes, still lives in Nova Scotia where she continues to be an active member of the Truro Tennis Club. Reading, writing, following the NFL, and hiking are her favorite pastimes, but her real vice is playing Mass Effect and Dragon Age far too much.

She’s been known to write a Trek fanfic or two, which can be found on her Novel Expectations website. She is the author of the novels Unexpected Sparks and Unexpected Ties, romantic mysteries that take place in her hometown, and Cross Purposes, a romantic adventure. She is currently working on the fantasy novel Shadow Rider, the first book in the new Elemental trilogy.
