Brief Bio

Dave J. Andrae was born on the Autumnal Equinox of 1979 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He has bounced around a bit and currently lives in Florida. Andrae is a novelist and multidisciplinary artist with a background in film and music. His first book, The Friends of Allan Renner, is a character-driven, blended-genre work of adult literary fiction. It was released in November of 2020 and has been largely well received by those who've read it. His second book, Rem's Chance, is due for release in the summer of 2024.

Andrae holds a BFA in Film from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Some of the films and videos he's created as a writer-director have played at festivals, mostly smaller ones. 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 less.

Starting in the mid-nineties, Andrae has played music, on and off, in various live bands and studio side projects. The most active of these in recent times has been his solo recording project Tired of Triangles, which released its second album, The Havanese, in September of 2023.

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 to not take himself too seriously. :o)
