Meet Andrea Jenelle
Author of No Apologies, a romance in the collection.
Andrea is a multiple award-winning author (2023- HOLT Medallion, Best First Book, No Regrets; 2025 HOLT Medallion, Best Short Contemporary, No Excuses; 2026 Imadjinn Award, Best Romance Novel, No Apologies) and a firm believer in happily-ever-afters, finding your joy, and making the most of every single moment.
Her motto is: Reading romance doesn’t give us unrealistic expectations. It shows us how to demand the love story we deserve.
She believes we all deserve the grace to follow our dreams!
As a young, single mom she was discouraged from pursuing a writing career and didn’t dive into the thirty years worth of notebooks she’d accumulated until she turned fifty in the middle of the pandemic. She tries to craft stories with resilient heroines and cinnamon roll heroes, and pulls from her own experiences, her legal background and her love of history. She wants to be known as an author whose stories of steam and emotion resonate with readers.
