"In her debut novel, author Thome writes with a winning charm and peppers her prose with a quirky wit...an enjoyably readable love story."  

~Kirkus Review, on Walland

I'm a rolling stone, a lover of the outdoors, and a hack photographer who loves writing and consuming romance novels at a voracious clip. I cut my teeth on my mom’s glitzy Danielle Steele and Jackie Collins novels when I was a teenager and I never looked back.

My own love story inspires my writing daily, even after twenty-six years married to this hot guy in the photo on the left. We met in 1995, when I was working as a sports reporter and he was was a young third baseman for the Cleveland Indians, and the spark was instantaneous. He’s a Hall of Fame Husband and father and he makes me laugh almost every day. (He sometimes forgets to take the trash out, but I try not to hold that against him. He’s lucky he’s cute.)

We have a daughter and a son whom we deeply admire as human beings, and two rescue cats who want for nothing. I love the life we’ve built together. I want my characters to have the same kind of longevity we’ve enjoyed, and I keep that front of mind as I’m drafting their stories.

I’m grateful to anyone who has read and resonated with my independently-published Hesse Creek Series, and I hope you’ll be even more connected to my new trilogy, set in a fictional town in western Montana. Book One is out on submission now, thanks to my incredible agent, but traditional publishing isn’t for the impatient. As soon as I know the timeline for release, I’ll be sure to share the news in my newsletter. If you’re interested, please sign up at the bottom of this page. In the meantime—lead with love!

xoxo,

Andrea
