Andrene, a multi-genre author, finds joy in crafting stories that bring smiles. Her slightly weird humour, often leaning toward the dark side, adds a distinctive touch to her work and reflects her time as a stand-up comic.

No matter the genre, readers should be prepared for a delightful twist of humour that adds a unique flavour to her work. It’s one that often challenges conventional norms and that leaves a lasting impression. She also enjoys a good bit of snark.

Andrene lives in the beautiful Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand with Mia a tabby so keen on the local bird life, she’s going the right way to end up wearing enough tiny bells to be mistaken for a furry little Morris Dancer.
