ⓘ About L.J. Andrews
She goes by a pen name because it’s a little fun having an alternate identity. And the name was formed by people that are dear to her heart. She has been writing ever since she was able to spell, and thankfully all this time later her writing has improved. She has a formal degree in Occupational Therapy, and has loved her time serving those that are in the geriatric population. Her real love is literature and writing, though, and she figured it was about time to work on fulfilling this dream. L. J. loves to write in the morning before anybody’s awake, what with running a business, and eating way too much chocolate. Her first novel, “Rise of a Guardian”, took her a solid 3 ½ years to write and at least another year to revise, edit, and beta read.
