J. Andrew O'Donnell

J. Andrew O’Donnell was born at an early age. He began writing before he could even read, resulting in his early works being complete gibberish. J. began his writing career as a columnist for the Auburn Plainsman at Auburn University in 1995, where he wrote opinion pieces for about four years. He took a brief hiatus from writing to complete his master’s degree, get a day job, and raise a family. J. continued his professional writing career after landing a gig as a network security site guide and writer for the New York Times-owned About.com. J’s work was selected multiple times to appear on the front page, and he has been featured or mentioned in a variety of publications including NBC News, Scientific American, National Geographic, and Business Insider. The Bureau of Dangerous Machines series is J’s first foray into the world of fiction.
