About

Andrew Wolfendon is the ghostwriter of over 75 books, including a #1 Amazon bestselling novel (2023) and titles for several NY Times bestselling authors. His thriller, Wreckage (September, 2024), is set on the coast of Maine, where he lives. 

Andy’s first creative loves were music and acting…

After performing in coffee houses and theaters in his twenties, he joined an old college friend to write and perform a traveling comedy act. It was then he discovered he enjoyed writing more than performing and earned his master’s in professional writing from Emerson.

For several years he wrote plays and screenplays and then fell into the videogame industry, right around the time games first began to require scriptwriters. After an enjoyable career writing and designing games (including Darby the Dragon, Darkened Skye, numerous Magic Tales and JumpStart titles, and M&M’s The Lost Formulas), Andy finally came around to working on his first love—books.

He is the author of the thriller novels, The Treatment Plan (2022) and the award-winning Fishermen’s Court (2019, republished in 2024 as Wreckage), as well as the award-winning children’s book, The Girl from Glocken's Glen (2021), and several other children’s books.

Andy is a sought-after ghostwriter and editor who has crafted over seventy-five books across numerous genres, including the #1 Amazon bestselling legal thriller, Last Resort. He has also had over twenty motion picture screenplay options/commissions. His stage play Empties has had multiple productions. He has done scriptwriting work for a variety of entertainment companies, such as Disney, Viacom, Titanium Comics, and Blizzard Entertainment, and has taught writing at several Boston-area colleges and GrubStreet.

Andy grew up in New England and has returned to live there after a nine-year stint in the desert Southwest. He is happily married to Karen, an artist and psychotherapist, and has two extraordinary daughters, Phelan and Quinn.
