For more than thirty years, William Andrews was a copywriter and a marketing/brand executive with several Fortune 500 companies. For fifteen years, he ran his own advertising agency. At night and on weekends (and sometimes during the workday!), Bill wrote fiction. His first novel, The Essential Truth, won first place in the 2008 Mayhaven Contest for fiction.

The Dragon Queen is Bill's fourth novel and is the second book in his trilogy about Korea, which includes Daughters of the Dragon--A Comfort Woman's Story and a planned third book.

Today, Bill is retired and focused on his writing. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife, who's been an inner-city schoolteacher for thirty-two years.
