About Queer

The main question on Andrea’s mind was “How could I not have known?” This was followed by a sense of loss at the life that could have been and a need to figure out being queer NOW—so much time had already been wasted. Queer invites readers on a rainbow roller coaster of self-discovery and acceptance following decades of disassociation from her queer identity. The journey is raw, the art is inspiring, and the poetry will play a melodic tune on your heart strings.

About love the journey

love the journey combines stunning artwork with powerful poetic storytelling covering a range of experiences from self-love to grief. It is ultimately the storying of healing and getting back off no matter what knocks you down.

    This journal is amazing. I was looking for a journal that would guide me to look inward and inspire me throughout my day, this journal has done exactly that! The quality is 10/10, incredible value. Definitely a must have!

  • Queer

    I can relate to every word in this book. Andrea so beautifully describes what it’s like to be queer; the feelings that come up as we question the way we were raised, and what is OK or not in society.

    —Karen H.

  • love the journey

    I love this book and the combination of poetry and art that Andrea has shared so courageously with the world. I keep the book on my coffee table because it's breathtaking and the size is suited to a catchy piece; the art on the cover looks outstanding in my living room. The poetry is perfect for slow, careful reading and chewing on. It's truly poetry of the soul. I'm astounded with this breathtaking work.

    Your journal spoke to me. My husband passed away a few months ago and grounding is what I need.

  • love the journey

    I was inspired by your book! I don’t meet many people who are doing both a career and an art career, so I really liked reading your thoughts so well presented.
