Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, Geralyn Dunbar-Giles lives with her husband Ken, a freelance artist, in New York City.

Commingling an avid study of history with her love of writing, Geri has engaged in extensive research toward ensuring an authentic historical backdrop for her trilogy Ruins.

An award-winning, published author as a teenager and child, she was first published at age 9, winning a statewide literary contest. In keeping with her interest in creative writing, Geri attended an alternative high school for the creative arts, expanding her early writing credits to include her first novel (I Saw You, Tomorrow, fantasy) optioned for publication at age 17, along with numerous long stories, short stories, and other fiction (scenes, stage plays, comic books). 

In addition to her current trilogy Ruins, as an adult, Geri has previously penned two e-novels (Presumed Guilty; Nightlife of the Gods, literary, science fiction), and a stage play (The Stabber, experimental theater, horror), produced and performed in Connecticut.

Geri presently attends New York's New School University, where she is pursuing a degree in history and writing.
