Press Release

Tina Gabrielle, an award-winning author, has signed her second two book contract with Zebra Books, a division of Kensington Publishing Corporation, for a series of Regency historical romances. Tina is a former NJ Deputy Attorney General and Mechanical Engineer who pens novels about intelligent and ambitious heroines at a time when brains were not appreciated in a woman. She is the author of Lady Of Scandal and a A Perfect Scandal. Her new Regency Barrister Series is scheduled for release by Kensington in September 2011 and 2012, launching with In The Barrister's Chambers.

All of Tina's historical series involve unique women before their time. Lady Of Scandal includes a smart, savvy heroine who is an anonymous investor in the London stock exchange in the early 1800’s. The second book in the series, A Perfect Scandal, is about an aspiring artist who seeks to study art in Paris rather than marry the man chosen for her by her father. As true romances, both heroines battle the odds and find heroes who appreciate their talents and love them for who they truly are.

Tina's upcoming historical release, In The Barrister's Chambers, (September 2011) is the story about the daughter of a Master of the Bench, who has a voracious hunger for knowledge and the law at a time when women were not permitted to become barristers. The series is well researched, and Tina drew upon many of her experiences as a female in the law profession.

Tina’s first book, Lady Of Scandal, was nominated as best first historical of 2009 by Romantic Times Book Reviews, and the reviewer gave it Four Stars, calling it a “tantalizing tale.” It made the Barnes & Noble long list as “one of the top 50 books, CDs and DVDs to know about now.” It was also nominated as Best First Book for the Golden Leaf Contest sponsored by NJ Romance Writers. The second book in the series, A Perfect Scandal, also received Four Stars, and the reviewer called it “Delicious, tantalizing and riveting.”

Tina is a literacy advocate, and she has given free workshops to the Girl Scouts, public libraries, and writers’ organizations.

Tina is hard at work on her new Regency Barrister series for Kensington, anticipated September 2011 and 2012 releases.
