Andrew Jonathan Fine

Andrew Jonathan Fine (1962 - ) was born in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, to a Conservative Jewish family. He started high school at 12, eventually graduating with a bachelor in electrical engineering and a master in computer science by the age of 23.

Andrew has found some measure of peace in the Silver Valley of Northern Idaho, where he as lived since 2011. He is now a "retired mad scientist", having worked as an embedded systems and applications software engineer for 15 years, but recently having had to retire for health reasons.

He enjoys creating silver jewelry as another hobby in the summer, and sometimes indulges in creative writing indoors during the harsh Idaho winters.

His storytelling came together from scattered notes based on his experiences from the Jewish culture, his engineering background, and his abiding enjoyment of science fiction of various kinds, especially anime.

He looks to Piers Anthony as his mentor.
