Andy Andrews, hailed by a New York Times reporter as "someone who has quietly become one of the most influential people in America," is the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Do You Kill 11 Million People?, The Noticer, and The Traveler's Gift, and is also an in-demand speaker for the world's largest organizations. The Noticer and The Traveler's Gift were featured selections of ABC's Good Morning America and continue to appear on bestseller lists around the world. His books have been translated into over 25 languages.

Andy has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents and toured military bases around the world, being called upon by the Department of Defense to speak about the principles contained in his books. Arguably, there is no single person on the planet better at weaving subtle yet life-changing lessons into riveting tales of adventure and intrigue — both on paper and on stage. He lives in Orange Beach, Alabama, with his wife, Polly, and their two sons. His latest book, The Noticer Returns, is available everywhere books and ebooks are sold.
