Andrew Sweet
Andrew Sweet is a living, breathing author who uses his writing to explore humanity and the dynamics of power in an ocean of ever-changing technological advancement.
The true story
Andrew Sweet was born in the small town of Houston, Texas, less than a decade after Loving v. Virginia demolished anti-miscegenation laws across the United States. A favorite thing in the Sweet household was telling stories round-robin, with each family member adding to the adventure—from magical flying golden pyramids to dragons in the woods on the family farm.
Those experiences sharpened his storytelling skills. He competed in writing competitions, then discovered an early IBM personal computer and became absorbed in programming. He served in the United States Marine Corps as a programmer for four years, then moved into civilian life, met his wife, and raised two children.
Having never stopped writing, Andrew refocused on his craft in 2015. His first novel, Models and Citizens, was well reviewed by Kirkus, received five stars from Readers’ Favorite, and won a silver BookFest Award. The Reality Gradient trilogy was shortlisted for the Chanticleer International Book Award in 2024. The Witch of the Isle was a finalist for the Pacific Northwest Writers Association award for Speculative Fiction.
Works
His works include the Reality Gradient Trilogy, the Virtual Wars Saga, The Witch of the Isle, Southern Highlands: Obi of Mars, The Book of Joel, Drift, and other fiction.
