A love note from Andrea
Author and healing storyteller.
“I learned to read aged three and always knew I would write a book or three, or more. A lifetime of loving words unlocked entire worlds for me through the stories of others, which always felt like they were in my voice somehow. Alongside my love of reading I keep a journal to record insights, thoughts, dreams and the voice of wisdom who whispers guidance worth listening to. A fisherwoman and country girl, I love being in nature, and noticing the signs of love and life that are everywhere. We have so much to learn.
Across decades my work has focused on professional writing, because words made ideas come to life, progressed action and unlocked resources, and I have dabbled in freelance journalism throughout my career with various columns over time.
Finally I wrote my first book. Called What Wisdom Whispers.
It’s a memoir, a life event, a labour of love.”
