About the Author

Andrew Ross was born in Toronto, Canada, but grew up in Cohasset, Massachusetts, and graduated from the University of Richmond in Virginia in 2002. After completing medical school in Norfolk, Virginia, he went on to complete a residency in emergency medicine in Charleston, South Carolina. He now currently lives in Savannah with his wife, Maggie, and their daughter Josephine, where he works as an emergency physician. A love of all things literary-especially history, biographies, and the classics-helped shape his interest in writing. Outside of literature, he enjoys traveling, mountaineering, skiing, scotch, and soccer. His goal for his novel, The Sweet and Bitter Taste of Moonshine, was to create a story that appeals to both those readers with an interest in history and philosophy, as well as to anyone who loves a good saga that spans the centuries and is set in the American South.
