My novels place common people in extraordinary circumstances that plumb the depths of their bonds, commitment, and courage.
I strive to be faithful to the historical events and people my characters meet and interact with. To remember forgotten events and heroes.
My greatest passion is my love for my family. Second to that is writing. I seek to bring my readers compelling stories that reveal the depths of human character and the bonds that form between us.
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 complete a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He earned board certifications in 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 now serves with a volunteer fire department and writes without deadlines. You’ll find him on the slopes of the Bridger Bowl in the winter and camping in the Montana mountains in the summer when he’s not writing or visiting his family.
