About Andrea Andrea Heltsley:

“Everything seemed to be going right for Cora. She had a wonderful fiance, a great best friend and a fulfilling life. One day, a tragic event causes that life to crumble around her. She turns to her best friend in her time of need. They embark on a search for answers, delving deeper into a web of magic and destruction. The closer they get to the truth, the more questions they have. To Cora, magic was the stuff of fairy tales. Immersed into a very different kind of world, the real storm was just beginning to take hold.”

Author Interview Questionnaire via My Reading Addiction

I want to relay genuine emotions. There are too many books where the heroine is portrayed as tough and nearly without emotion. In real life, things can get tough and it is realistic to feel things such as loss, love, friendship and jealousy. Some may see the characters as a little whiny, but I wanted them to be realistic.

I love to write, but making outlines are especially tough for me. I like to write and let the story weave itself. More creativity goes into it that way.

This is my first published book, but I have two more coming out this summer. Each of the books is the beginning to a different series. Dissolve out 4/10, Dreamwalker out 6/10 and Dancing with Death out 8/10. I particularly love Dreamwalker because it was the most creative by far. The story allowed me to challenge my creativity and brought in a more intricate plot. It is the only strictly adult paranormal romance I have written.

For Dissolve, I would have to pick Emily VanCamp from Revenge. I don’t really have a reason, I just love her.

I started writing in grade school, but only decided to make an official career out of it at the end of 2010. 

I wrote each of my books in about six months give or take.

Nathaniel Hawthorne after reading Young Goodman Brown.

What is your favorite part of the writing process?

Writing and creating the characters. I also enjoy the publishing side of things. I particularly hate editing.

Dystopian, paranormal, romance, young adult (depends on who reviews it whether it is adult or young adult).

I have just finished the rough draft of Dancing with Death and am excited to get it ready for publishing. In the pipeline for me this year, I have all three book sequels I hope to have out in 2013. 
Dissolve sequel- Detour 
Dreamwalker sequel- Divine Destiny 
Dancing with Death sequel- Dancing with a Demon 

Dissolve can be purchased as an ebook on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
