Writing as Jo Demmer, with Gail G Collins, Andrea created two anthologies set in expatriate destinations to paint a picture for potential expats, and friends and families of current expats.
Nigerian Gems: Expatriate Tales of Adventure (2005) was published by the Ishahayi Beach School Foundation (IBSF) to raise money for a school in a remote area outside Lagos. Over 40 expats contributed stories or photos to this collection of stories about expat life in Nigeria.
Papua New Guinea Pearls: An Expatriate Perspective (2012) was commissioned by ExxonMobil to recount anecdotes about life in PNG for people to picture themselves living, working and playing in The Land of the Unexpected.
