Andrea K. Stein is the daughter of a trucker and an artist. She grew up a scribbler. The stories just spilled out--the pony escaped, the window magically shattered. Not her fault. Twenty years as a journalist couldn't stifle the yarns. Yacht delivery up and down the Caribbean only increased the flow. Now those tales celebrate romance and adventure on the high seas.

She's a retired newspaper professional and sea captain living in the Rocky Mountains. As a sailing captain and instructor since 1996, she's logged over 20,000 miles to destinations around the world. Life at sea and the daring women down through history who accomplished what "just wasn't done" inspire her romance novels.
