About Staci Andrea

I am a thriller/suspense author who got her start a little later in life. I think that I needed to experience the breathtaking highs and the soul crushing lows on my life's journey before I was able to really give the reader the emotional journey that I aimed to give. My style is to pull back the curtains on the ordinary person, the cookie cutter neighbor and the family that looks like they have it all together. The truth is, we all have secrets to hide.

I have four books currently in production, Fraidy Hole, Lake Laps, Beneath Her Lies and Ghosts in the Glades. (Fraidy Hole is also currently available in audio format and Ghosts in the Glades will also be soon!)

In the past few years that I have been writing, I have been blessed to have been part of some pretty cool awards. I have placed as a finalist in the Killer Nashville Claymore awards in 2022 and 2023, the shortlist on the Hawthorne Awards in 2023, London's Page Turner Awards Longlist for two of my books in 2023, Honorable Mention at the Hollywood Book Festival in 2023 , the Gold Five Star Award through Literary Titan, a quarter finalist in the ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition, a finalist in the Literary Global Book Awards, and placements in the 2024 BookFest Awards. In 2024, Ghosts in the Glades took home a win from the Killer Nashville Awards for Best Southern Gothic, as well as a Maxy Award for Best Thriller of 2024.

 I am also honored to be a member of the International Thriller Writer's Association, and a member of their Debut Class of 2023/2024.

This has been a wild journey, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
