Andrea Le Riche
Andrea Le Riche believes stories should haunt you. They should follow you into the dark, linger in your chest and demand you feel something you’d rather ignore.
Her stories do not live in the light. They wander through gothic halls and fractured hearts, across fantasies soaked in shadow and romances edged with ruin. Whatever the genre, her compass always points toward the dark, where survival claws into beauty and betrayal blooms into truth.

Her first, full-length story was about two ducks that go on a farmyard adventure, bashed out on her mother's dated typewriter at the ripe old age of seven. An English teacher by trade, K.I.S. always envisioned herself as a writer but never got around to ac -
