edit data

Drew Banks is a retired entrepreneur, business author, and novelist. In his business writing as well as fiction, Drew deconstructs behavioral patterns in an attempt to explore psychological motivations and deterrents. While Drew's business books examine organizational implications of various social psychologies, he is drawn to fiction—where he is now focused—as a more intimate medium for delving beneath the surface of an individual.

Drew's Elba Trilogy consists of three independent novels—ABLE WAS I, ERE I SAW ELBA, and coming soon, I BEFORE E—all dealing with the issue of exile, physical and emotional, with the protagonist of each (as well as some ancillary characters) woven throughout.
