About Me

John F. Andrews began writing fiction in 2012. The spark that ignited the flame was the story about a surgeon who was kidnapped in 1936 and forced to operate on a wounded mobster at gunpoint. He started with medical fiction and morphed into historical fiction set in the early 20th Century. He is a Marine Corps father twice over with an intimate understanding of what it is like to be a service family member. This plays a major role in his fiction.

Andrews was born in Chicago and raised and worked in Wisconsin and Minnesota. His love of Montana began at the age of five and continues. After earning a BA in psychology, he completed medical school at the University of Minnesota. He trained in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan and then completed a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He earned board certifications in Internal, Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. After a successful practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he and his wife, Sue, retired to Manhattan, Montana, where he served with a volunteer fire department. They moved to Arvada, Colorado, in 2024 to be closer to his family.
