Andrea has been devouring books since she learned to read at the age of three. An old portable typewriter got her started writing in her room at eight and she's been writing ever since. Her practical nature led her to pursue a master's degree and a career that would pay the bills, but the writing bug continued to bite. She started working ferociously in her spare time to become a published author and has become an active member of her local RWA chapter, Heart of Dixie.

After eight years and eleven completed manuscripts, she finally made the leap and got 'the call' from Harlequin Desire on May 31, 2011.

She always dreamed of seeing her work in print and is thrilled to finally be able to share her special blend of sensuality and dry, sarcastic humor with the world.

A dedicated West Coast girl transplanted into the Deep South, Andrea is working on her real-life "happily ever after" with her boyfriend of ten years and their collection of animals including two cats, two mutts and a Siberian Husky that sheds like nobody's business.

She loves to hear from readers, so if you enjoy her work, tell her on her Facebook Fan Page or Twitter and if you feel inclined – send lint rollers!
