I’m so excited to finally announce my next book will soon be released! Although I don’t have the exact date yet, I couldn’t wait any longer to share my cover… In this poignant and evocative novel, author Andrea Miles has written a modern-day Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Raven thought Roman was the ideal boyfriend. But whenContinue reading “Coming Soon!”

Celebrating an Accomplishment!
Can you guess what this is, dear friends? That’s right! It’s the finished draft of the novel I’ve been working on! Longer than my first novel Trespassers, it is over 400 pages and about 90,000 words. There was about a month when I was certain it was the very worst book ever written, but then IContinue reading “Celebrating an Accomplishment!”
First Review on NetGalley!
My publisher forwarded my first review posted on NetGalley today and it is a good one! (To put it simply, NetGalley is a site publishers use to give booksellers, librarians, reviewers digital access to books.) I know not everyone will like Trespassers – I’m trying to remind myself of that all the time – becauseContinue reading “First Review on NetGalley!”
The Size of the Effort
Last month I opened a box that had just been delivered expecting a gift for my youngest who turned four. Instead, I was quite surprised to see it was a box of books. MY books, or more specifically, my Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs) which I, or a publicist, send out to reviewers. I wish IContinue reading “The Size of the Effort”
Nothing Like the Life I’ve Lived
Often, a writer’s first novel is filled with many autobiographical elements. And when this is pointed out, it is not usually in a favorable light, but more a sign of their inexperience. That’s not to say that an author’s fourth or tenth novel doesn’t also have autobiographical elements within the pages, but they are probablyContinue reading “Nothing Like the Life I’ve Lived”
My Writing Process Blog Tour: May 2014
I was recently invited by Lisa of Cornerstone Home Learning and Mirkwood Reflections to share my writing process via a blog tour, which is a relay that involves answering four questions and then introducing fellow authors who will continue the blog tour the following week(s). Lisa was assigned to my (virtual) camp cabin at Camp NaNoWriMoContinue reading “My Writing Process Blog Tour: May 2014”
More Devil Than Destiny
It isn’t every day you trip and fall into the arms of your destiny. At least that’s how I described Parker to my friends. I was running late, of course, because I’m never on time, and was hurrying down the stairs of my apartment building (damn unreliable elevator) in 3-inch heels no less when IContinue reading “More Devil Than Destiny”
A Soul Lost
The priest slowly walked beside the guard, his well-worn Bible grasped firmly in one hand. He hated these kinds of meetings. Give him a person on their deathbed, their body wrecked with disease or age or both anytime over this. It was true he didn’t agree with the death penalty, but it was more thanContinue reading “A Soul Lost”
Letter from the Inside
Hey, Big Brother, It has been awhile since I’ve written I know. I’ve been busy I guess. You’ll be happy to hear I’m making great progress here though. My therapist (we call him Dr. Q, isn’t that cool?) said I was doing good. But I’ve been thinking about you, you and mom. How is she,Continue reading “Letter from the Inside”
The Witching Hour
She sits at the kitchen table, a cup of cold coffee in front of her. This can’t be happening to her, to her perfect little family. She draws in a shaky breath and then releases it. She’d spent all her tears last night, leaving nothing for today. But how had this happened? The Day hadContinue reading “The Witching Hour”
