ANDREW Q. GORDON wrote his first story back when yellow legal pads, ballpoint pens were common and a Smith Corona correctable typewriter was considered high-tech. His books blend LGBTQ characters with his lifelong love of fantasy and the paranormal to produce a different voice for readers. Though most of his stories fall into the epic fantasy or contemporary paranormal molds, the occasion contemporary LGBTQ work will push its way to the front.
Andrew currently lives in the Washington, DC area with his husband of twenty-three years, their young daughter, and three dogs. In addition to dodging some very self-important DC “insiders,” Andrew uses his commute to catch up on his reading. When not working or writing, he enjoys soccer, high fantasy, baseball, and seeing how much coffee he can drink in a day and still fall asleep at night.
