Gina Lynelle was born in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1970, and although she doesn't have any memories of the swamp, she does enjoy reminiscing about field trips visiting historic cemeteries that pepper the landscape. At the age of six, she moved to Spring, Texas, a small suburb outside of Houston where she spent most of her childhood with the exception of a brief stint in London where she grew a love for the Victorian Era. College was not in the cards after high school, but after meeting her late husband Gary, she went to the University of Houston, where she gained a degree in Psychology and a minor in History. She is the mother to an amazing son, a writer in his own right, and when she is not teaching or writing, she entertains herself with paranormal investigations and traveling to haunted sites.
