Author Biography

Gina Kaufmann is a freelance writer and broadcast journalist who lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri -- just minutes from Kansas. She got her start as an arts columnist, providing highly readable, in-depth coverage of the local art, music and theater scene. Recently, she co-hosted a daily talk show on Kansas City's public radio station. In this role, she presented a history series, facilitating shows on such topics as how Kansas City residents experienced and survived the Great Depression, the history of suburban sprawl and what Kansas City was like during Prohibition. Gina is currently finishing up her Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, and expects to be awarded her degree in the fall of 2011.
