Hear a recent interview with Andrea on Author Magazine.
“I couldn’t be happier with The Andrea Hurst Literary Agency! Andrea and her partner, Amberly Finarelli, worked with me on the proposal for my new mystery series, to make it the best it could be. I was thrilled when I got the call only a short time later that they’d made a three-book deal for me! They’re simply wonderful to work with and I feel lucky to have their support and expertise.”
