About the Author
Gerald (Jerry) O’Nan is an attorney living in Lakewood, Colorado, with his fetching bride of more than 50 years. He graduated from the University of Colorado (BA ’71) and the University of Louisville School of Law (JD ’74). Before retirement, he was the Assistant Regional Solicitor for the U.S. Department of the Interior. During more than 38 years of service, he wrote numerous briefs, litigation reports, and opinions. Unrelated to his work with Interior, he started writing articles for magazines and newspapers. His first published article was for the Denver Post, Monument to a Heart’s Desire.
In the early ‘80s, he started writing children’s stories. The first Andy Ant story he wrote was The Swimming Hole Disaster, from events that he experienced on a hot summer day in his hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado.
His brother, Larry, had started telling bedtime stories to his kids using a character he created – Andy Ant. After Jerry had written his first story and was completing a second – Runaway Ants – he wanted to make everything “legal” and sought to purchase the name “Andy Ant” from Larry. Larry did not want to sell the name but proposed that the two work together to get the Andy Ant stories published. Larry would use his marketing skills and Jerry would write the stories.
The stories are all written in the first person by “Joey,” Andy’s human friend. In reality, “Joey” is Jerry and every story is based on things that happened to him growing up and the characters are all inspired by people Jerry knew.
In addition to the Andy Ant stories, Jerry wrote eighteen children's stories for Moody Monthly, a publication out of Chicago. Similar to the Andy Ant series, the Moody stories are all based on events from Jerry’s childhood and the characters are all people who played an important role in his life.
Jerry is active in his church and loves telling stories, especially to kids. He has taught creative writing seminars for Denver Public Schools and the Jefferson County School District in Colorado.
