Ginny Kubitz Moyer is a California native with a passion for local history. A graduate of Pomona College and Stanford University, she taught high school English for twenty-six years and has written both fiction and nonfiction.
Ginny’s love for California and its stories inspired her to write The World at Home, set in 1944 San Francisco, which Publishers Weekly called “an evocative picture of life during wartime.” The Seeing Garden, her debut novel, won Silver in the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in Historical Fiction, and her second novel, A Golden Life, was named one of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Indie Books of 2024. Her nonfiction book Taste and See: Experiencing the Goodness of God with Our Five Senses was the winner of a Catholic Press Award, as was Mary and Me: Catholic Women Reflect on the Mother of God. Her articles have appeared in a variety of publications, including Bella Grace and America. An avid weekend gardener, she lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family.
