Ginnie cont'd...
That was the beginning of Notes from a Chameleon, and the first wobbly steps on a very long, sometimes painful, sometimes joyful and always surprising new life.
Now some 35 years later Ginnie's novel has made it to Hollywood. In April of 09 a made-for-Hallmark TV movie based on Ida Mae Tutweiler and the Traveling Tea Party will air. And if that isnt a miracle, we dont know what is. The whole amazing adventure is on her blog www.ginniebivona.blogspot.com
After some years as a successful acquisitions editor for a regional press, she is now president of Atriad Press, (www.atriadpress.com) specializing (after several years of learning experiences) in Texas non-fiction. Recently her first and favorite work; Notes From a Chameleon, Sort of a Memoir, (which she also illustrated) has been awarded Finalist in a national book contest.
She is also the author of the hilarious cookbook The Seductive Chef, A Cookbook & More for Lovers. She claims to be working on a new novel, titled Italian Music, and a non-fiction book titled Viva Terlingua, A Chili Cook Remembers the Early Years. Stay tuned on both of those.
She adores her marvelously talented beautiful now-what-passes-for-adult children, her spectacularly brilliant grandchildren, loves her cute little condo and her everyday-a-new-adventure life. In a newspaper article she might be referred to as elderly, but trust me, shes not. She has discovered the surprising delight of growing older. And if you meet her shell whisper the secret reason in your ear. Then you'll understand why shes always smiling.
