About this author

Andi Lea spends most of her time making up stuff that isn't real. Growing up near the beach, between Disneyland and Hollywood provided Andi many adventures which inspire her writing. She also likes to do things out of order, doing the mom-thing while she did the college-thing. She holds a B.A. degree in American Culture and Gender Studies.

With the support of family and friends she co-founded The Ravens Crossing, a diverse fictional web series. When she isn't preoccupied with crafting fantastical tales, Andi grinds coffee beans. When she isn't writing, she is reading, or indulging her obsession with all things geek.

This year, I am taking things more introspective. Getting a little personal.

Andi Lea The Ravens Crossing launched today. The Ravens Crossing (TRC) is a young adult internet-based, interactive, fantasy series set in a fictional world within a real city. TRC has been in the planning stages since 2011. The Ravens Crossing:

- Written by multiple authors.
- Created with a team of editors, content advisors, artists, and graphic designers of all ages.
- A long term project with an intriguing cast of characters.
- A series of stories involving multiple characters, multiple points of view, and one goal: To tell a continuing tale of extraordinary events.
- Celebrates diversity.

Months of development have been dedicated by the TRC team to create something that has never been seen before on the internet. The building blocks were set into motion during a weekly coffee get-together. From there it took on a life of its own. All of the authors agreed to work in a flash fiction style, limiting each daily episode to 1,000 words or less. TRC will grow, change, and evolve as the stories unfold.
