A native New Englander, Andrea Twombly is formerly a fourth generation manufacturer of decorative brass stampings and filigrees at a company founded in 1904 by her great-grandfather, Numa Guyot.

A Reiki Master, Yogini, active church member, gardening hobbyist, loyal book group member, and avid daydreamer, Andrea is often spotted outside tending her yard and gardens. Frequently inspired while on a walk, she finds it very funny that ideas often come at the far point of her meandering, which sends her back home at a quickened pace to write down what has come to mind.

Andrea keeps her home somewhere between Boston and Providence. Her daughter, who made the world a better place by simply being born, lives in the Berkshires.

Andrea maintains that a late bloomer blooms nonetheless, and she adores the serendipity of what can happen when seeds are scattered in hope and faith.

Ms. Twombly is a member of From Women’s Pens, and her novelette Christmas at the Inn appeared individually and in Annie Acorn’s 2015 Christmas Treasury., now out of print.

Andrea is the author of a blog at https://andreagardens.wordpress.com, and you can follow her on Goodreads or on Twitter at @filigreegirl.
