In southern Dallas, Texas, Sunny Giovanni-- or "Gio" as she likes to be called-- was born on the fifth day of June in 1989. Born to a mother who was a teacher and a graduate from Texas A&M University you couldn't so much as watch a Disney movie if you hadn't read the book beforehand. Sunny Giovanni is an advocate for gay and transgender rights, and says: "You can't help who you are and you damn sure can't help who you love. Gio is a mother of three children, the founder of Lucid Legends Publishing/ Photography, Kno Joke Entertainment, the host of "We Talk TOO Much Radio" on BlogTalk Radio and blogs on Tumblr under the name "KnoJokeGio".  At the age of twenty-four someone made the decision for Gio to "stop playing around and start publishing" her own works. The father of her children promised that he would handle everything else if only she would pick up the pen after many down moments and discouragement from major companies who sighted the young author. "Either I was too brutal or I was too plain. Either it wasn't enough drama or it wasn't enough drugs in my books. I almost broke after that." Seeing the talent the mother of his children possessed, Gio's "Trojan" handed her the money to make her own name under the only circumstance that she only depends on herself and sticks to her computer or laptop for at least eight hours a day. "I wrote during my hard times. That's how I got through it all. Because of that I have stocks of unreleased works, but it's only so many you can release at one time. An author is someone who has lived life to the fullest, from the low points to its highs. We just place them in poetic words and paint a beautiful picture." Gio boasts on her saying and the quote to her lifeline "I bleed ink and I live words."
