Andrea Mariana

Andrea Mariana is a queer Historical Fiction author (aroace) originally from Tennessee, now living in the Washington, D.C. area. She has been enthralled by history throughout her life and came to adore the Historical Fiction genre as a teenager. That devotion never faded, and she went on to earn her B.A. in European History and Political Science. She has since become an analyst, focused on energy and climate change issues. Despite the twists and turns of her professional career, her love for historical narratives never faded in the grind to adulthood. Understanding her identity was the final piece of the puzzle, prompting her to pursue creative writing as a Historical Fiction author centering stories like her own. The vast history of the queer community has been a guiding influence for all of her manuscripts, and drives her work in researching and sharing that history on her author blog and her TikTok channel.
