Brief Bio

Dave J. Andrae was born on the Autumnal Equinox of 1979 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He has currently lives in Florida. Andrae is a novelist and multidisciplinary artist with a background in film and music. All three of his books to date--Wolf in Wanderley, Rem's Chance, and The Friends of Allan Renner--are character-driven, blended-genre works with literary fiction elements.

Andrae holds a BFA in film and is the writer-director of several films and videos, some of which have played in festivals and cinema clubs around the world. His titles include The Plants Are Listening, Self-Important Empirical Film #3, with Voice-over, Robert on his Lunch Break, Fire in the Neighborhood, Ped, and Fugazi's Last Stop in Wisconsin. Though once a card-carrying cineaste, with a big appetite for his chosen medium, in his forties he has been semiretired from cinema and tends to watch movies a lot less.

Starting in the mid-nineties, Andrae has played music, on and off, in various live bands and studio side projects, including Astronaut Ice Cream Headache and Tired of Triangles.

Even when dryly typing about himself in the third person, in a quasi-self-important manner that is sure to be less entertaining than any garden-variety internet meme, Andrae tries not to take himself too seriously. :o)
