D.A. Andrews is a complicated author from a simple background. His interest in writing began in the 7th grade, with an R.A. Salvatore novel entitled "The Legacy". Andrews writes mostly realistic fiction, playing on the little voice in the back of your head that screams, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" in dark alleys and secluded wilderness. His inspirations for style include Stephen King and Robert Jordan, and the authors that made him want to write are J.R.R. Tolkien and R.A. Salvatore.
