Who is Gina Blue?

I wasn't always called Gina Blue.  The name evolved from the writing of my first book,

Desperately Seeking Humor:  Incredible and Satirical Tales of a Substitute Teacher.  

The story goes like this...

Back...way back...in 1998 I had an epiphany.  I would write a book.  It would be about the Life of a Substitute Teacher.  Since

working full time as a substitute teacher in the Ashtabula County Schools was my current source of income, well...it sounded

easy enough.

So I go to work, take notes (sometimes on napkins, sometimes on tissue paper and sometimes on sticky notes… whatever was

close at hand!) of interesting stuff the kids said and did during class and then go home and write.  Well, it took about three

months before I stumbled on a recipe for my stories.  I actually got my inspiration from watching Fred Astaire dance!   Anyway,

after  finishing my stories and after several years of rewrites and revisions, I self-published through I Universe.  

I wrote all my stories in the first person, and as I continued to write, I decided  to take the name of Gina Blue.  My website became

ginablue.com and over the years I became known to my  friends as Gina Blue.

Today I am Gina Blue.
