Andrea Beaty was raised in southern Illinois in a town so small I knew everybody and their pets. She was a big reader as a kid and LOVED Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon Mysteries. Then she moved on to Agatha Christie books and then the classics. Don’t tell anyone, but her secret ambition is to star in a Broadway musical, and she often feels tempted to break into song and dance at very odd moments. She attended Southern Illinois University and studied Biology and Computer Science. Now, she lives in Chicago with her family, where she writes and gardens.
