Family: The Heart of His Stories

The strong bonds of family and the dynamic adventures of his own life infuse his stories with warmth and authenticity, making his characters relatable and his plots engaging.

The Birth of a Writer

Andrew's love of writing (and a terrible chemistry grade) led him to pursue an MA in English Literature. Although his life in the military took him away from creative writing, the birth of his children led him back to it. "Daddy, tell us a story!" is one of his favorite things to hear at bedtime. Occasionally, he comes up with a story that  (he hopes) has some merit. These are the stories he aspires to share with his readers.
