About

Malinda Andrews is a transplant to the Midwest from Washington State, and still lives within a stone’s throw of Lake Michigan. While missing the ocean views and mountain peaks, Wisconsin has become home over the years.

            For as long as she can remember there has been a love of storytelling. The form changed over the years from making up stories about her toy horses, to penning short stories as soon as she could write, to writing novels in high school. Encouraged to read and write by her parents, she followed her passion for the written word and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee.

            Malinda has continued to pass on her love of writing and reading to others through speaking engagements, mentoring younger writers, and guest teaching in classrooms. In her home life she fosters a love of story in her three young children by reading to and with them and encouraging imaginative play.

            Several of Malinda’s stories have been short listed for awards, as well as being finalists in contests, making her an award-winning author.
