A Writer Who Breaks the Molds
As a young Maylasian immigrant to the U.S. Gennita Low picked up a doctorate in philosopy but from then on has made a career of doing the unexpected. After working as a teacher and debt collector Low became a roofer in Orlando, Florida.
After attending a romance writer's convention to learn the ropes she published her first romantic suspense novel, Into Danger, which garnered her a two-book deal from Avon Books and won "Best Romantic Suspense" from the Romance writers of America.
Her second book, Facing Fear, was the first romance novel featuring an Asian heroine. And since her books feature espionage, military operations and lots of action, she is one of the only romance writers known to have a loyal following within the U.S. military. Low's fourth book, The Hunter will be out next month and she talks to the Orlando Sentinel about her career thus far.
