Gina Cavalier lives and works in Los Angeles, CA as a writer, illustrator and painter. Writing and drawing stories since she was a child, Cavalier found herself inspired to write her own stories while working in Star Trek Creator, Gene Roddenberry’s office as his wife’s assistant. Since then, Cavalier has gone on to write and develop television dramas, romantic comedy films, teen network shows and more. Her journey into book writing is primarily set on original children’s tales that she illustrates herself with a second book, “Gina Cavalier’s – Turtle Without A Name” set to hit shelves in March 2015.
