ANDIE PATRICK was born in the year Adolf Hitler came to power. Six years later she moved to Kenya, and has lived in Africa ever since.
Her writing experience includes running business writing courses for embryo managers, and a stint as a newspaper theatre critic. Today, she enjoys leading a writing circle and is a member of the Romance writers Organisaton of South Africa. Never happier than with pen in hand, Andie started writing short stories after she retired, not dreaming that she could write anything longer. But one day, spurred by a challenge, she sat down at her computer and started writing. There she stayed, pausing only to eat and sleep, for 23 days. A novelist was born. She had discovered her metier in romance.
Married twice (consecutively) but now widowed for the second time, Andie lives in George, South Africa. When she is not writing, she pursues her interests in music, travel, wine, cars and photography. She spends her days happily weaving plots and creating characters, warbling snatches of opera as she writes. An octogenarian writing steamy romances? She admits to being bit out of practice, but claims that a vivid imagination and an excellent memory serve her well.
And write a good story she does. Her creativity is fuelled by a lifetime of varied experiences to draw on, an enduring love of the English language, and a sense of mischief (attested by her motto: "Live old disgracefully")
