Tina Wainscott

Tina Wainscott is an American novelist who published contemporary romance and romantic suspense from the 1990s through the 2000s, with much of her output appearing through mass-market imprints such as Zebra/Kensington. Her novels typically favor Florida and Gulf Coast settings and combine small-town romance with suspense-plot elements -- missing persons, past secrets, and threats to the heroine -- in the vein of other romantic-suspense writers of the period. Beyond the broad outline of her genre and imprint history, reliable, independently verifiable biographical detail about Wainscott (education, career outside writing, awards) is thin in publicly available sources, and this entry avoids asserting specifics that cannot be confirmed. She is included in this catalogue as one of thirteen authors who each contributed a chapter to I'd Kill For That (2004), a collaborative relay novel written by suspense and romance novelists to raise money for breast-cancer research, alongside better-documented genre peers such as Lisa Gardner and Heather Graham.
