A.E. McCullough

Andrew was born in Munich, Germany while his father was stationed overseas with the US Army. Growing up a military brat, Drew became an avid reader with Fantasy, Science Fiction and Detective Thrillers being his favorite genres.

Drew served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1982-88 and began training in TaeKwonDo in 1985. In 1994 he moved to Louisville, Kentucky to open his own TKD studio and taught for 11 wonderful years. Unfortunately, everything must end and in November of 2005, he closed his studio and switched careers. In Early 2006, he became a Corrections Officer with Louisville Metro Corrections.

In 2015, his wife at the time, had a life changing accident that nearly killed her. This caused him to put everything, including his writing, on the back burner. The next few years were rough. Ultimately, her accident led him to passing up a promotion to Lieutenant, taking early retirement in July 2019 and moving south to the beach. Nonetheless, that marriage ended in divorce in 2020 and he moved back to Louisville.

There is an old saying, when one door closes, another one opens. By choosing to be happy and alone, he found his soulmate in an old friend and he has never been happier. Currently, he resides on a farm with his fiancé and animals: 4 cats, 4 dogs and 4 horses.
