Author Information

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ginny Baird has published more than twenty-five novels and novellas. When she's not writing, Ginny enjoys cooking, biking, and taking long walks in the woods with her Labrador retriever. She lives with her own personal hero in Virginia, where the couple has created a welcoming nest for their blended family of six children and significant others. New York City-based narrator Kimberly Austin has recorded over 100 titles for publishers including HarperCollins, Harlequin, Dreamscape, Brilliance, Blackstone, Spotify, Podium, and Bee Audio, as well as by many indie authors. AudioFile magazine has praised her, saying ""Kimberly Austin perfectly varies her tone and energy throughout [and] her excellent pacing keeps the narrative rolling through the wealth of details."" Kimberly has a friendly, charming nature that captivates listeners with warmth and a wise wink. She studied vocal performance at Ithaca College (while moonlighting in a punk band to the horror of her professors), and over the course of her professional acting career, she has trained with Upright Citizens Brigade, The Pit NYC, and PaperMill Playhouse. Before embarking on a full-time narration career, she was a registered dietitian, performed thousands of commercials both on camera and behind the mic, and hosted segments on QVC both in the US and the UK-giving her great affinity to deliver business and self-empowerment material in an intimate, engaging, eloquent manner. She has honed her audiobook technique with Carol Monda, Hillary Huber, and Paul Ruben, and her gifts as an instrumentalist and vocalist give her an affinity for learning dialects quickly and dialing into an author's rhythm and unique voice. She's also a history junkie and student of world culture, having traveled to forty states and twenty-five countries. Marrying her love of music and word, she hosts the successful Rock Book Show podcast, interviewing and highlighting the work of authors, biographers, and historians of rock music. In the realm of fiction, she is most sought-after for romance, contemporary fiction, cozy mystery, and thrillers. An avid sports fan, she hit a personal home run starring in a Major League Baseball commercial and several Super Bowl spots. She loves old movies, DIY, and baking, and if she's driving down the road and sees a thrift store, she's going in!
