[20 Questions] GIA RILEY @AuthorGiaRiley

Gia Riley has been in love with writing romance since high school when she took her very first creative writing class. From the small but mighty state of Delaware, she’s a country girl at heart, traveling back to her roots in Pennsylvania as often as she can.
She’d rather pick truth than dare, bake than cook, and will always choose coffee over tea.
Just like life, her stories always have a mixture of heart and humor.
You can connect with Gia on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. She also has a reader group, Gia Riley’s Books, on Facebook. Stop by anytime, she loves hearing from readers!

Gia just had her book, Stay Awhile, release on March 16th. And she is currently collaborating with fellow Unrated Author, Marni Mann, to bring us even more awesome and amazing stories to read!

So since I love you all, My Little Pretties, I give to you:

Twenty Q's with Gia Riley!

Pennsylvania.

Are you a morning person, or a night person?

See Europe and Australia. Get a tattoo.

The world around me. I’m a people watcher. Life watcher. You can learn a lot just by listening.

I believe in ghosts. And I’ve had an experience in the past.

If only one of your books could be turned into a movie, which one would you choose and why?

See and hear.
