edit data

Andrea Renae grew up as an only child, often either lost to her daydreams or finding new things to create with her hands. As an adult, writing became a way to process countless beauties and hardships while solidifying her hope in the Author of it all.

When her fingers aren’t clacking keys, you can find her teaching her children, playing piano, painting with watercolors, knitting sweaters, or practicing for her inevitable fame on the GBBO. Her favorite activity, however, will always be spending time with her family, her friends, and her goofy goldendoodle, Charlie.

Quotes by Andrea Renae (?)

“Before I understand what I am doing, silent words pour out in a torrent of prayer. Oh, how long my spirit has been bound by bitterness.
But now, a ray of mercy has pierced the hidden dungeon of my soul. My griefs drain away, and hope fills the void. Words of confession become whispers of praise. As my feet move through the streets of Utsanek,
I exchange guilt for forgiveness, resentment for thanksgiving, turmoil for peace.”
― Andrea Renae, Where Darkness Dwells

“All I am left with are these memories, clinging to my thoughts like spiderwebs. One careless breath, and a strand snaps. Tiny threads, nothing to them, yet enough to hold the weight of my world.”
― Andrea Renae, Where Darkness Dwells

“Something in me is always surprised Rhun is no longer here. It's like the root suckers that spring up long after the tree is taken out. They appear at such random intervals, ages after the giant has been cut down. You can make yourself forget it happened for a while by snipping them off, but they will keep coming - an untimely reminder that something big is missing in your life. And the pain will start afresh.”
