Andrea Wilson Steele was born in England and also lived in Canada before immigrating to the United States. 

 

An accountant by profession, she worked as a corporate financial officer in two insurance-related organizations during her business career.

 

A lifelong equestrian, Andrea teamed with horse trainer Mark Russell to write Lessons in Lightness: The Art of Educating the Horse, published by the Lyons Press in 2004.

 

Andrea formed Mouse Hole Farm Productions in 2008 to create college-level educational DVDs and online learning experiences for riders and equine caregivers worldwide. The series, called Advanced Equine Studies, has received two prestigious EQUUS Film Festival awards. 

 

Steele then formed Mouse Hole Farm Press in 2019 to launch her Griegg/Eastwood Mystery novels. The first book, The Trap, launched to critical acclaim in 2020. Book two, Zen: The Anatomy of the Perfect Crime, followed in 2021, and the third book, Otobong’s Gift: Family Matters, in 2023. All three novels are out as audiobooks from Tantor Media Inc., a subsidiary of Recorded Books in 2023.

In 2024, Andrea teamed with photographer Sarah Grote to write SAVED: Equine Rescues of Connecticut. This art-quality hardcover book raises money for the rescues that partnered with them on the volume.
