Andrea Chesman, Writer, Editor

Hello. It is 2026. 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, “Drinking with a Serpent” appears in the January 27 issue of Flash Fiction Magazine.

Meanwhile, you can still buy my cookbooks. It is great if you can buy my books locally. And, since they are still in print, they can be specially ordered for you. As for the big online stores, you know how to reach them.

Thanks for stopping by.
