Audrey Wilson is an award-winning writer and screenwriter with a BA in Television Writing and Producing from Columbia College Chicago. Having written her whole life, Audrey’s passion has led her to the publication of her debut novel from Dreaming Big Publications, Wrong Girl Gone. While Wrong Girl Gone may be Audrey’s first novel, she’s no stranger to writing. Audrey has written over fifteen screenplays and television episodes, and has won a variety of awards for her writing, including a regional Emmy nomination.  Her newest novel, Only Human is now available from Flashpoint Publications. When she’s not glued to her laptop screen, you’ll find Audrey going to the movies or reading a good book. Audrey lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband, rescued dog and two cats, where she continues getting swept away in her writing on a nightly basis.
