I&#8217;m Vinni George! I have been a lover of romance novels (of all shapes, sizes, and colors) since the first time I got my hands on one of my grandmother\u2019s Harlequins, and I&#8217;ve never looked back. I live in Ohio with my two favorite guys (my husband and son) and, hopefully\u2014one day\u2014a dog. When I&#8217;m not writing, I can be found working for my family\u2019s business, which provides plenty of plot bunnies. In my spare time, I&#8217;m a soccer mom who dabbles in performance art, quilting, and various culinary pursuits, and I love traveling. My debut novel, Hold the Door, was a \ufb01nalist and runner-up in Contemporary Gay Romance in the 2020-2021 Rainbow Awards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you hear about this event?\u00a0 How many years have you attended?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">I heard about Writers on the River from a friend who attended. 2026 will be my fourth year attending!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">I write MM romance in a bunch of subgenres including contemporary, shifter MPREG (omegaverse where male omegas can get pregnant and have babies), shifter romantic suspense, and (sea) monster romance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Oh, that&#8217;s a tough question&#8230;I think it depends what a reader is int he mood for, but if I had to pick, I would say Black &amp; White, book 1 in my ORCA shifter romantic suspense series. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one fun fact about you?\u00a0 It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone&#8230;&#8230;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">In a past creative life, I used to be a burlesque performer. Once, I was in a Star Wars parody burlesque show called The Empire Brings Sexy Back. The scene where Han gets frozen in carbonite was a musical number set to &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; done in the dark with only flashlights held by each performer. I played Darth Vader and had two flashlights because I also had to light the stormtrooper, which was a life-size cardboard cutout, so I had to learn two sets of light cues. Twelve years later and I still can\u2019t listen to &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; without doing the light cues. If &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; is playing, no matter where, I will be turning on and off my imaginary flashlights. I also hold both burlesque and pin-up titles in perpetuity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your social links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">All my socials can be found through my Linktree: <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/vinnigeorge\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/vinnigeorge<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your buy links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <span data-sheets-root=\"1\">All my books can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/vinnigeorgewrites\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/vinnigeorgewrites<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vinni George #WOTR26 Author Interviews Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
