One of the most beautifully written, sad, magical, yet clear-eyed novels I’ve read by any author for many years.—Wales Arts Review
Hi! I’m Andrea. I write high fantasy with self-determined heroines, animal companions, horror elements, unique magic systems, and romantic subplots. I have six cats and they are all a crucial part of the writing process.
You can find me on Instagram posting bookish news and cat pictures, or on Threads being increasingly feral and unhinged. I’m very active in DMs there and that is the best way to contact me.
