Howdy.
Andrea Neil is the Amazon bestselling author of eleven books and writes lighthearted fiction about loveable late bloomers. She lives in Oklahoma but grew up in Southern California—and the latter will always be home in her heart.
In 2015 she left a job in finance to follow her passion for writing and creating art. With age comes wisdom—or at least a few more stories to tell—and soon Andrea began publishing quirky novels with the intention of brightening her readers’ day. When she’s not trying to get her own words onto a page, Andrea edits other writer’s fiction, reads novels, and goes on walks if the weather’s nice.
She’s been an active member of Sisters in Crime writing association since 2024 and is the founder of Introverts Writing Alone Together In Our PJs Club.
What Andrea's up to
If you’d like to follow Andrea’s nonfiction writing, you can check out Overthinking It, her non-award-winning Substack newsletter. It’s a smorgasbord of serious topics, book reviews, and other things she frequently overthinks.
The Old School Mystery series features retired super-spy Delphine Lougheed and her friends as they discover retirement is most definitely not for wimps!
The Beverley Green Adventures could be described as “GenX Chick Cozy Lit Comedy Adventure.” But until Barnes & Noble creates a category for that, just know these books are filled with laughter, lightheartedness, and plenty of irony.
Days Are Beautiful and No Surprises are collections of 100, 100-word stories. Each book is a thoughtful journal of sorts, as well as a tasty amuse bouche of storytelling.
And if you’re a fellow author, Andrea also edits fiction over at Two Birds Author Services.
