Andrew Warren was born in New Jersey, but currently resides in the warmer climate of Southern California. He studied film, English and psychology at the University of Miami, and has over a decade of experience in the television and motion picture industry, where he has worked as a post-production supervisor, story producer and writer.

His passion for writing and traveling led Andrew to Japan. As soon as he set eyes on the country he fell in love with it, and felt compelled to use it as the setting for a series of novels. It took a few years, but Tokyo Black was the result of that trip.

Andrew’s writing skills have seen him write for Youtube Red's "Fight of the Living Dead," MangoTV's "Sons of Earth", and Discovery's "True Nightmares".

While I did certainly did research into Japanese nationalistic politics, for me that research was the window dressing on the character of Mr. K. What he really represented to me is someone who has been utterly poisoned by anger, hatred, and feelings of inadequacy. I tried to imagine what might mold a person to turn out the way K did, and cause him to participate in such abhorrent activities. Then I just tried to put myself in that headspace for a few minutes, and say whatever I thought K would say. I used my political research to mold and shape his words later, and make them a bit more relevant and believable for his character.(less)

When I visited Beijing, I was struck by the contrast between the beautiful, stunning city, and the terrible air pollution. I think that duality was the basis for Fang. He’s smooth, charming, even angelic in his white suit… and yet he is surrounded by both a literal and metaphorical cloud of death. In my research for the book, certain events from China’s history really stood out to me as events that would scar and shape a person into a monster. Going through those betrayals, having everything you hold dear taken from you, even as the country grows into a prosperous super-power… Psychologically, Fang was a victim of abuse. Everything he is doing, no matter how horrific, he believes is justified. But, like so many victims, he is actually re-enacting the abuse he suffered, only on a much grander scale.

Also, I’d like to point out that China does not hold a monopoly on pollution and environmental issues. Residents of Flint, Michigan, and other cities in the US, can attest to that.

“And when darkness had left its mark on you, moments of brightness could be brief and short-lived.”
Andrew Warren, Tokyo Black

“Caine's pistol barked twice. A cloud of red mist burst from the man's face.”
Andrew Warren, Red Phoenix

“He stopped a couple meters from the group and looked up at the smoking building. He uttered an exasperated sigh.
“An American assassin. A Chinese double agent. And a Triad gangster. Mr. Tyler, you still seem to have difficulty with the concept of ‘staying out of trouble.”
Andrew Warren, Red Phoenix

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde

“She shifted her body in the cab of the tower crane. Then she adjusted the focus ring of the scope mounted above the AS VAL silenced assault rifle. The image became sharp and clear”
Andrew Warren, Red Phoenix

“Caine's pistol barked twice. A cloud of red mist burst from the man's face.”
Andrew Warren, Red Phoenix

“Hegelian dialectic—a psychological tool used to manipulate the masses. In this case, you create a problem, wait for the reaction, and then offer the solution. What people historically fail to realize, though, is that those offering the solution are the same people who caused the problem in the first place. They also fail to realize that no matter what the solution is, it always ends up providing its creators with more power.”
