Andy Walker

Retired? Officially, yes. In 2014. But Andy Walker hasn’t tried out any rockers. He still skis moguls and ice skates daily, joking about an over-100 Olympic category. After flying professionally for 43 years, Andy now spins yarns from his mountain home in the West (and on ice, with razor blades attached to his feet, when the spin Gods are feeling generous). He leaves his wife, Marcia, practicing widowhood while he writes, and writes, and writes, every day. He hopes his current work, The Legacy Trilogy, is blockbuster enough to get him out of the doghouse.
