Meet Andrea Barclay
If you are a true enthusiast of animal stories, then you are at the right place. Its a literary realm of the most talented and skilled author, Andrea Barclay, known for her passion toward telling stories. Andrea lives in Camberley, a lovely town in Surrey, England. With its pretty streets, friendly people, and green parks, Camberley gives Andrea lots of ideas for her fun and creative stories for kids.
Andrea showcases special fondness for Basset Hounds, dogs that have those long ears, big eyes and very gentle personas. She always had such beautiful dogs in her house, and it has been a significant part of her life. They ease her with laughter through their funny actions, and they are loyal, which makes them a good source and inspiration for what she writes.
Andrea has always enjoyed herself when she is writing, as far as she can recall. She began writing both poetry and prose at a younger age and has improved her ability to create not only creative but entertaining stories with time. Andrea just posted the two things she loves most—basset hounds and writing—so she decided to combine them. Thus, she began writing a kids’ book called Bertie the Basset, which is a series of entertaining and emotionally cheerful stories about a dog and his activities.
