William Andrews

For over 30 years, Bill Andrews was a copywriter and a marketing/brand executive with several Fortune 500 companies. For fifteen of the more painful years, he ran his own advertising agency. At night and on weekends and sometimes during the workday, Bill wrote fiction. Bill's first novel titled THE ESSENTIAL TRUTH won first place in the Mayhaven Contest for unpublished fiction.

Bill has a personal connection to Korea - his only child who arrived from the Land of the Morning Calm as a cheerful, smart four-month-old. Since then, Bill has been fascinated by Korea. He has written two historical novels about the country: DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON-- A Comfort Woman's Story, and THE DRAGON QUEEN. A third novel about Korea is scheduled for publication in 2019.

Today, Bill is retired from the business world and focuses on his writing. He lives in Minneapolis with his lovely wife, an inner-city public school teacher for 32 years. And Bill proudly reports that the cheerful, smart four-month old is now an MD.
