WHY:
I’ve loved vampires since I saw Frank Langella in the first “hot
vampire” version of Dracula years ago. That love intensified in my
later teens with The Lost Boys, and reading Interview with the
Vampire, along with anything vampire I could get my hands on. But I
wanted more than the evil monster chasing young virgins; more than
the sweet, misunderstood handsome fanged stranger that becomes the
perfect mate for the woman who captures his heart after so many lone
centuries. I wanted a vampire so well-crafted in detail that I could
believe he was real. I wanted something different to happen in the
story, other than girl becomes vampire, or vampire becomes dust. I
wanted passion, tragedy, romance, suspense, action, and the haunting
sweetness of poetry and song floating on a soft night breeze. So I
penned my own vampires.

Ginger Voight is prolific author, freelance writer and optioned screenwriter. Her fiction is diverse, with novels like the edgy, coming-of-age drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the fun family adventure for kids of all ages, COMIC SQUAD.
Having grown up reading different authors like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger has always been drawn more to story than to genre. This shows up in her various stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady mix of horror, suspense, and romance.
Genre romance, however, has held a special place in her heart, ever since she read her first Harlequin novel when she was only eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a name for herself writing romances of her own, starring women who look more like the average American woman rather than those traditionally represented in the size-biased American media. Her Rubenesque romances were created especially for those heroines with fuller figures, who can still get the man of their dreams if only they believe they can. Such titles include UNDER TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, THE GROUPIE TRILOGY, THE FIERCE TRILOGY and PICTURE POSTCARDS.
Ginger was included in the best-selling book by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word memoir.
