ANDREA BUGINSKY ease Rel New Andrea Buginsky is a freelance writer living with a congenital heart defect. She has enjoyed writing since she was a kid. When she went to college, she decided to turn it into a career, and earned her BA in Journalism. She has been freelance writing for several years now. Andrea has always wanted to write a book, and decided she wanted to write for children. She loves fantasy movies like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, so she decided to try her hand at writing one of her own. Andrea's first publication is The Chosen, a middle-grade fantasy she worked on for about three years. The second book in The Chosen series, Nature's Unbalance, will be released in mid-May. Andrea is currently editing Book 3, Striker's Apprentice. Andrea's second series, New Avalon, is YA fantasy. Book 1, Destiny, is available on Amazon. She is currently writing the second, Fate. Andrea has also published My Open Heart, an autobiography about growing up with heart disease. Her hope is that it will give encouragement to young adults growing up with heart disease, or other chronic illnesses, as well as parents of children growing up with heart disease. Andrea lives in the Kansas City, KS area. She grew up in Florida, but is originally from NJ. During a time of celebration for The Chosen, a mysterious force appears on Phantasma, threatening to destroy Nature and all of her creatures. Will The Chosen find and defeat this force and save Nature before it’s too late?
