Gaia B. Amman (they/them) is a Ph.D. molecular oncologist turned chart-topping author of The Italian Saga. Born and raised in the dichotomy of Northern Italy’s sensuality and rigid traditions, Gaia’s work explores the coming-of-gender journey with empathy, grit, and 80s and 90s nostalgia.

Their debut volume, An Italian Adventure, is a 5-star Readers’ Choice winner, a Kirkus-featured “astute and affecting” fictionalized memoir, and a 2026 LGBTQ+ International Book Awards Finalist in the LGBTQ+ category. Drawing from personal experience and a former career as a tenured professor and Nature-published researcher, Gaia blends scientific precision with soul and spice to discuss socially relevant topics with humor and heart.

Whether navigating the 1990 World Cup or the complexities of love and nonbinary identity, Gaia’s stories are an addictive roadmap toward the pursuit of happiness beyond gender.
