But now that I&#8217;ve started, my brain keeps coming up with more stories! Though I still enjoy the fantastical elements of high fantasy, urban fantasy, and all the world building that entails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you hear about this event? How many years have you attended?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">I heard about WOTR from a writer friend, Melissa Haag, several years ago and have wanted to attend for a while! 2026 was my first year, and &#8217;27 will be my second time. I was honored to attend last year, and am looking forward to coming back!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Contemporary Romance, Paranormal Romance\/Urban Fantasy, Fairy Tale, High Fantasy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Oh goodness, I have a few that I think have &#8220;flown under the radar&#8221; so to speak. But I really think Wolf&#8217;s Blood and its trilogy doesn&#8217;t get as much attention and love as I feel it should. Bryna, the FMC, demanded her story be told. So I did, even though her story wasn&#8217;t in the line up and I was working on something else at the time. But she was insistent, and it&#8217;s a story that was so much fun to create and world build for. Someday I plan to get back into her world as there are more adventures with Bryna and Ethan that need to be told. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one fun fact about you? It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone&#8230;&#8230;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t drink Coffee! I&#8217;ve made it through five years of college, &#8220;big kid&#8221; jobs, and three children&#8230;all without one drop of coffee! I do, however, know the best places local to me for hot chocolate and other drinks. My favorite is when it&#8217;s fall and winter and the hot cider comes back to Colectivo. I would love to have that be a menu option all year round!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your social links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Malindawrites?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=ed83b47e-22ac-4e5e-b649-018a249444bb\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Malindawrites?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=ed83b47e-22ac-4e5e-b649-018a249444bb\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you buy links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Malinda-Andrews\/author\/B013YY7Z42?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&amp;ccs_id=f8137e95-d3a4-460f-a730-94d204cf9b52\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Malinda-Andrews\/author\/B013YY7Z42?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&amp;ccs_id=f8137e95-d3a4-460f-a730-94d204cf9b52\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself. \u00a0My name is Malinda Andrews, and I am a multi genre author who fell backwards into writing romance.
