Hi everyone! My name is Andrea and I'm from Toronto, Canada. By day I work as a speech writer, and by night I'm writing my first novel. My interests are mostly in YA and I see lots of other writers on here also seem interested in YA -- I'm sure I'll find lots to learn and contribute!!

Looking forward to getting to know you all! :)

Thanks so much everyone!! I think I'll like it here. :)

SilverDragon: Sadly, no celebrities! I work for our provincial government, so I write for strictly for politicians and bureaucrats. :)

G'Day! Welcome. I love Brian Adams (and Glass Tiger if you're old enough). I dearly miss John Candy.
