Introduction	Author of the Mosaic Chronicles, Kilenya Series, and Kilenya Romances, Andrea graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor of science degree in Communications Disorders. She is an accomplished musician and plays (and teaches) many instruments, her favorites being the viola and piano. Writing is the chocolate of her life - it is, in fact, the only thing she ever craves. Being with her husband, family, and close friends is where she's happiest, and she LOVES thunderstorms, the ocean, public speaking, painting, and traveling. View her website
Interests	Learning, almost anything outdoors, oil painting, camping, drawing, target shooting, four-wheeling, hanging out with my family and friends, my husband, reading, acting, playing the piano, working out, football, basketball (watching, not playing), boating, watching movies, traveling, fires with guitars and hot chocolate, etc. Oh, and I also like writing. A ton.
Favorite movies	I LOVE watching movies. I'll never, ever tire of watching the 5 hour version of Pride and Prejudice. :-) I also really enjoy Stardust, Signs, Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Second Hand Lions, August Rush, the Harry Potter movies, X-Men (all of them), and almost any musical (Les Mis, Into the Woods, and Secret Garden are my favorite broadways). I love action/adventure movies.
Favorite music	I got tired of having a long list of groups and artists who sing only a few songs that I really like or that I only like depending on my mood. So, suffice to say that I LOVE music, have favorites from every genre (Renaissance and up - though I rarely listen to classical music), and won't listen to anything that is hard, screamy, vulgar or profane.
Favorite books	I LOVE reading!!! I can't really say that I've got a favorite book, though. :-)
