6 Questions from the Porch Swing for Gina

Gina D'Agostino took over the porch swing back in February, but I didn't get to ask her anything. So, she's back today, answering a few  questions, and making an announcement for me.

Where will we find you when you’re not on the page of the book we’re reading?

Gina: Working, partying or spending time with my family. Italians are very big on family.

What’s something we’d be surprised to know about you?

Gina: I like my crazy job. I've been workin' at Foster Motors since I moved here from New Jersey. Those guys -- and Angel -- were my first friends. I've watched them get married, watched their kids grow up, bailed a couple of 'em out of jail. It's like a big, extended family.

What are your thoughts on children?

Gina: Love 'em. I have tons of nieces and nephews and love being Aunt Gina. 

What regrets do you have?

Gina: Not a one. They're a waste of time. 

Whom do you admire? 

Amazon.com

Gina: I don't know if I admire her, but I think Angel deserves some kinda award for putting up with Jimbo. I know she says he's a good guy, but I just don't see it.

Are you currently dating anyone?
Gina: Nah, not right now.

And what about that announcement?
Gina: This week, Casting the First Stone has been spending some time on the Amazon Top 100 list for Contemporary Christian Fiction! Lisa's pretty excited. Chasing a Second Chance hasn't made it there yet -- maybe because I'm not in it as much. Just sayin'.

Can We Tawk?

Lisa thinks maybe I look like a blonder
version of Marisa Tomei
in My Cousin Vinny...

...or maybe Elizabeth Hendrickson,
who played Chloe on
the Young and the Restless.

Hey everybody! Gina here -- y'know, Angel's friend from the auto body shop? You may not remember me since my bit part in Casting the First Stone got downgraded to a walk on in Chasing a Second Chance.

But I'm not bitter. I get it. I mean, I'm a friend from Angel's single days, and there's no love lost between me and Jimbo -- who's definitely not good enough for her, by the way --and since I'm single and savorin' it and I don't have kids or go to church, I don't fit in. But Angel, bless her heart, is as loyal as they come, so she'd never be one to kick me to the curb.

ANYway....Lisa is considering writing a third book and we characters are jockeying for position. I know if I turned up on Angel's doorstep, she'd give me a big hug and invite me in for a cuppa cawfee. And I love that girl, I really do, but I can't stand her husband.

So. Should I turn up on her doorstep? Lisa has some ideas about what will happen next if I do. Or, am I like some kinda relic from her past that auto (get it?) just stay in the past since Prince Not-so Charming doesn't like me anyway?

Lemme know what you think by leaving a comment.

And come back next week so we can dish about the rest of the cast.
