Bio

Andra is an award-winning author of contemporary rom-coms with elements of magical realism.

Before moving to Michigan, Andra lived in Europe for twenty years, where she found herself locked on an empty train in Poland, abandoned in a Czech forest with a compass, and falling in love with the only American man in her town.

Now settled back in the States with her husband and three teens, she’s busy teaching English, exploring her new city, and reacquainting herself with the local (English!) library.
