About Andrea:
I was a big reader as a kid and LOVED Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon Mysteries.  Then I moved on to Agatha Christie books and then the classics.  Don’t tell anyone, but my secret ambition is to star in a Broadway musical and I am often tempted to break into song and dance at very odd moments. Mostly in the frozen food section of my grocery store.  They have very good lighting.

I attended Southern Illinois University and studied Biology and Computer Science. After that, I worked for a computer software company. I helped people with their computer problems ("Did you try turning it off and on again?") and some technical writing. I didn't know at the time, but tech writing was great training for writing for kids because it taught me to be a fierce self-editor. 

Now, I live in Chicago with my family. I visit lots of schools each year to share my love of reading and my writing journey with kids and educators.
