About the Author

His first work of erotic gay fiction, a collection of edgy short stories called "Basic Butch," was published in 2008. Set in gay venues across the country, Basic Butch features characters who go down life paths that, in the end. they wish they never had.

"The Czar of Wilton Drive," an erotic novel, is the story of Jonathan Antonucci, a 21 year old, barely-out-the-closet gay man from suburban New York who overnight finds himself a multi-millionaire, thanks to a bequest by his late gay great uncle. Uncle Charlie has unexpectedly died of a heart attack, leaving him the sole owner of several of the most successful bars in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale�s gay ghetto, making Jonathan the Czar of Wilton Drive. Jon is immediately submerged in the underbelly of Lauderdale�s gay scene and soon realizes what may have really happened to his uncle. In the end, Jon is torn between avenging Uncle Charlie�s death or loving the man responsible for it. From Kokoro Press.

There, Josh, after leading a promiscuous lifestyle within New York City�s gay sub-culture, meets Hylan, a young, bi-racial, down-on-his luck, wheelchair-bound musician who awakens in Josh what love can be between two men. But their chance at happiness and the lives of those around them are forever changed by 9/11. From Totally Bound Press.

Editorial Reviews

"Andrews' stories are sensuous and disturbingly human. His genius rests in his rare ability to weave deplorable criminal acts such as murder and child abuse into erotic patchwork, and render the balance tragic poetry. Andrews exposes the monster in the mirror when all the trappings of civility are stripped bare. In his stories, you never see the dog standing in the road until you feel the bump of tires rolling over it. A truly unique and darkly gifted writer."
