About Andy Heath

Andy Heath grew up in Celina, Tennessee, and Livingston, Tennessee, until he graduated from high school in 1996.  He graduated from East Tennessee State University in 2001 with a B.A. in Spanish and a minor in business management.

In 1997 some of Andy's fellow students in the dorm gay bashed him by trying to break down his door when they suspected he was gay.  Andy called the police, but the officer did nothing to prosecute the boys that harassed Andy.  It was at this point that Andy decided that he would fight against the energy of hatred and the ubiquitous misunderstanding of gays and lesbians in the Southeastern United States.

Andy visited Mexico and Costa Rica during his time at ETSU.  He also spent one semester studying at the Universtiy of Puerto Rico, in Cayey, PR, in 2001.  After graduating from ETSU, Andy moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he held a number of clerical positions.  He eventually learned to used Microsoft Excel well enough that he could perform complex calculations and data mining exercises for his employers. 

Andy spent several years as a free lance translator while he worked in other positions.  He wrote his first novel at age 25, which he does not intend to publish.  Andy started his second novel, Preston, a few years later, which he considers a much better work of fiction and a work that is more in tune with his interests.

Andy played two musical instruments as a child and has near perfect pitch.  He currently lives in an apartment in Nashville, Tennessee.
