Bonus: Author Gina L. Maxwell

Hello, fellow nerds! We had the best time chatting with Gina L Maxwell, author of the Deviant Kings series and Seducing Cinderella!

Gina L. Maxwell is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 International bestselling author living in the upper Midwest, despite her scathing hatred of snow and cold weather. As a lifelong romance novel addict, she began writing as another way of enjoying her love of Happily Ever Afters.

Her debut novel in 2012, Seducing Cinderella, hit the bestseller lists within a month of its release and continues to be a fan favorite more than a decade later.

When she’s not reading, writing, or spending way too much on planners and office supplies, Gina enjoys hanging out with her son and daughter who’ve left the nest, snuggling her many fur babies, and dreaming of her someday-move to someplace tropical.

Listen in as we chat more about Gina’s books, completing her Deviant Kings series, her love for paint by numbers, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @ginalmaxwell

Season 5 of Our Nerdiest Thing kicks off on August 20th!
