This is Grossenbacher’s second historical fiction novel. Incredibly, Madam in Silk won Finalist for Historical Fiction in the 2020 National Indie Excellence Awards and was the Runner Up in Genre Fiction at the 2020 San Francisco Book Festival awards.

She is also a fiction copyeditor and leads an inspiring writers group called Elk Grove Writers and Artists, providing lessons and coaching in novel writing, memoir, poetry, and flash fiction. When she’s not writing, Gini can be found
taking long walks, tending the roses in her garden, and barbecuing with her husband and beloved dog, Murphy Brown. She is represented by publicist Cristina Deptula at Authors Large and Small.
