Ginger
Marcinkowski was raised between the two tiny towns of Fort Fairfield, Maine and
Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, Canada, a setting that deeply influenced the
writing of her first novel.
At the age of fifty-two, she graduated from
William Penn University with a degree in Business Management, a career she
never aspired to.
See Resume.
Ginger's true
desire to write fiction returned in her fifties when she enrolled in a graduate
writing course at Wilkes University of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, as well as
studying at Algonkian writers' conferences. She wrote and published short
stories in small literary journals for which she garnered several honorary
mentions.
Ginger's first book, Tobique reveals Ginger's lyical voice as she
utilizes her own vivid memories of her life along a powerful river whose waters
both gave and took life.
Today Ginger lives in Pella, Iowa with her
husband of thirty-eight years, Michael. She currently travels the nation as a
Corporate Relations Representative teaching Starting into Practice and Risk
Management seminars at 18 colleges across the country. They have one son, Tate,
a beautiful daughter-in-law, Amanda and four feisty grand-dogs.
