The Go-Between (The Nilaruna Cycles Book 1) (27 page)

To Jackson, my eldest son, who shares my taste in (and
love of) books. A couple of years ago, when you’d ran out of reading material
and came to me for recommendations, I asked you what your perfect book would be
about. You shyly told me (while extracting a promise of silence) that you liked
the sci fi/fantasy adventures that had a bit of romance in them.

I’ve never forgotten that. I write with you in mind, my
perfect reader. If you, an intelligent and well-read young man, like my work, I
know I’ve hit my target. You’re my guiding star.

Andrea Ring was born and raised in Orange County,
California. At age eight, she wrote an essay proclaiming she wanted to be an
“auther” when she grew up. It only took her thirty years to realize her dream.

She enjoys beating her four children at Boggle, reading
science fiction and fantasy, and eating bacon. She hates to exercise, but loves
taking walks with her family through Old Towne Orange. She's lucky to be
married to the love of her life.

Her favorite ride at Disneyland is Indiana Jones.

Her favorite movies are The Princess Bride and Better Off
Dead.

Her favorite authors are Jim Butcher and Susan Elizabeth
Phillips.

She thinks every book should contain a love story.

Did we mention her love of bacon?
