The Secret Stone

Andrea Pearson is an avid reader and outdoor enthusiast who plays several instruments, not including the banjo, and loves putting together musical arrangements. Her favorite sports are basketball and football, though several knee surgeries and incurably awful coordination prevent her from playing them.

Andrea graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor of science degree in Communications Disorders. She has published over two million words under three pen names, including 30+ novels, several non-fiction books, multiple novellas and short stories, and over a hundred articles for professional blogs and websites. She was executive director for Indie Author Hub for a year and a half, and she is frequently invited to teach about successful indie publishing in podcast interviews and at conferences and conventions.

Andrea is always in the mood for a good movie with close friends and family with a large glass of milk and a bowl of overly buttered popcorn nearby. Writing is the chocolate of her life - it is, in fact, the only thing she ever craves. Being with her family and close friends is where she’s happiest, and she loves thunderstorms, the ocean, hiking, public speaking, painting, traveling, and squeezing every bit of oxygen out of Ziploc bags.
