G. A. Edwards is a retired English teacher now spending her days as a writer, editor, speaker, and founder and co-administrator of a local writing group. A lover of all things books, her goal is to share the joys of literature one word at a time.
A voracious reader of numerous genres from an early age, she now writes gritty contemporary thrillers for teens with flawed heroes you’ll want to come out on top. She’s even thrown in a couple of suspense and romance short stories.
Memberships in Midwest Romance Authors, Writers of Warrensburg, and as a previous intern for the New Adult line with Entangled Publishing, L.L.C. helped hone her writing skills and introduced her to the many authors she counts as friends.
She lives in the Midwest where she enjoys working with budding and experienced authors, traveling with her husband, and spoiling the grandchildren she is barely old enough to claim. She swears she loves teens, a good story, and her minivan, but avoids celery, glitter, and squirrels when possible.
Visitors welcome!
