After moving to the U.S., at age ten, she came to revere the eloquence of American authors, like Morrison and Wright. These dual influences often converge in her own writing.
As an interracial romance writer, Gigi's stories usually contain African-American heroines of different backgrounds. She likes to investigate the unique challenges when color intersects with class, whether pre-1900 Historical Fiction or Contemporary Romance. She is still struggling to reconcile her Marxist leanings with her aristocratic affinities, shown by her love for Barons and Dukes.
Gigi lives in the DMV, and she usually can be found wearing a variety of purple robes from lighthearted lilac to abject aubergine, depending on her mood. She enjoys spending time catching up on her Anime, sometimes in her attempt to learn Japanese, watching Masterpiece Theatre Period Pieces or old MGM musicals--oh, and sleeping!
Gigi Thomas's debut interracial contemporary romance novel, Bound to the Baron, is the first in the series: Amorous Aristocrats. The second novel in the series will be out Fall, 2018. Please, check for updates!view less
