Andrew McDonald was born in Milwaukee, WI in 1977. His passion for writing began in 1995, after a "parking lot" discussion with a few of his friends over some radical ideas involving vampires and backflips. The Book of Ravens is his first self-published novel, a story that was over 30 years in the making. When Andrew is not writing, he enjoys spending time with his 10 year old son, Mason Ezekiel, his black cat Guenhwyvar, singing and rapping, taekwondo, playing video games, watching movies, sunshine, and wishing he were 20 years old again so he could play more volleyball. He hopes to make a career out of sharing his stories, particularly involving a certain vampire with super cool bangs, and hopes you enjoy reading his work as much as he likes to write it.
