In her spare time, she enjoys going to the beach, reading, and dreaming of Prince Edward Island. Graduating summa cum laude, Gina holds credentials in both elementary education and Spanish. Although unable to attend this event, a presentation of the poems was well-received at another scholarly event that same year. In 2009, she was asked to present her original Spanish poetry at an international literature conference in Costa Rica. Gina is also an avid poet in both the English and Spanish languages. As her own stories were “checked out” by family and friends, she dreamed of a day in which her work would be available in public libraries. Gina has been writing ever since she was a little girl and turned her bedroom into a “library,” complete with due date slips and a check-out stamp. The first book in the series, I Thirst, received the 2013 YATR Literary Award for Best Prologue from Young Adult Teen Readers. Gina Marinello-Sweeney is the author of The Veritas Chronicles, a contemporary YA trilogy that has been compared to the writing of L.M. ![]()
