Gina Francesca Frankini:
Managing Editor
Gina is a storyteller, poet, and educator. Graduating summa cum laude, she holds credentials in both elementary education and Spanish. In addition to teaching, she has worked for Rivershore Books as a freelance proofreader and editor. Gina contributed to Tumblar House as a blogger, social media assistant, and in a general advisory capacity for several years before officially joining the managerial staff in 2023.
As a continuing tribute to her roots, she writes under the pen name of Gina Marinello-Sweeney. Her published books to date are The Veritas Chronicles, a young adult trilogy and her first fantasy novel, Prince of Chandeliers. While defined by counter-culturalism, Gina nevertheless finds that she can fully embrace the cottagecore trend, which incorporates her lifelong love of fairy tales and the works of L.M. Montgomery, her greatest literary inspiration. It may therefore come off as no surprise to learn that her favorite genres vary from fantasy to classic literature. In her spare time, Gina enjoys venturing to the sea, reading, and dreaming of Prince Edward Island. She lives in Southern California with her husband Vincent Frankini, where she is at work on a fairy tale novel and short story collection.
