The Gaby Quinn Mystery Series

Andrea O'Connor

Having received a library card before she began kindergarten (requiring her cursive signature), Andrea O’Connor began her writing career at the age of five with a short story describing the seasons. Her next endeavor, at age nine, was a novella featuring Christine O’Leary. So began Andrea’s long love affair with the written word.

Later in life, when her husband John’s Parkinson’s disease progressed to the point where he was unable to engage in his usual active lifestyle, he longed to “do something,” so she suggested they write a book together. And so began the writing of 16 Lakeview Terrace, the first book in the Woodson Falls mystery series.
