Andrea Chesman, Writer, Editor

Hello. It is 2025, still earning my keep as an editor and proofreader and indexer. I have no plans for writing any more cookbooks and am focusing on writing short stories. Still gardening, still cooking, still preserving the bounty from my fickle garden, I hope you’ll read some of the fiction I’ve provided links for on my Fiction page. Some of what I write is autofiction — where I take real life people, places, events and then embellish until it is completely fiction. I also dabble in magical realism. Who doesn’t believe in trolls? One such story has been collected in an anthology entitled Whimsy: A Literary Antidote to Doom and Gloom — something we all need these days. My newest story, “Her First Choice” appears in the Spring 2025 issue of The Lemonwood Quarterly.

Meanwhile, you can still buy my cookbooks. Here are links to some places where you can buy my cookbooks on line:
