Gwen Overland
Gwen Overland and her family now live in Ashland, Oregon. Prior to that Gwen lived in Los Angeles and had careers in directing, acting, and singing while performing at the piano. After years in academia, Gwen turned her talents toward writing fiction and found she happily could not stop. In addition to writing romance, she also writes chic lit and cozy mysteries under the pseudonym Cunigunda Valentine. When she’s not reading, writing, or playing with her two black pugs, Gwen works in the theatre, teaches college students how to muster the courage to follow their dreams, or assists psychotherapy clients in discovering more joy and meaning in their lives.
