Andrene, a multi-genre author, finds joy in crafting stories that bring laughs. Her unique humor, often leaning toward the dark side, adds a distinctive touch to her work and reflects her time as a stand-up comic

After twenty years in advertising, she decided it was time to put all those stress-induced nightmares to better use by including them in her writing. She might also take perverse delight in eviscerating a few old bosses along the way. Pet hates include reality television and dieting.

Andrene lives in the beautiful Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand with Mia a tabby so keen on the local bird life, she's going the right way to end up wearing enough tiny bells to be mistaken for a furry little Morris Dancer.

Andrene's pen names are Andie Low, Hope Malone, and Sydney Hunter.
