Andrea Simonne grew up as an army brat and discovered she had a talent for creating personas at each new school. The most memorable was a surfer chick named "Ace" who never touched a surfboard in her life but had an impressive collection of puka shell necklaces. Andrea still enjoys creating personas, though now they occupy her books. She writes romantic comedy and contemporary romance. These days she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two sons. You can find her on the web at www.andreasimonne.com.
