OPA'S STORY

Owen Preston Andrews (OPA) began writing novels while stuck at home during the pandemic. After watching R.L. Stine’s Masterclass on how to write children’s horror books, Owen read around 100 of Stein's books. He decided he wanted to write a 32-book, children's horror series called, The Shiver Series, for children ages 8-13.  You Have Monsieur Monster for Third, is the first book in the Shiver Series.  Owen is currently editing the second book in the series, These Boots are Made for Killing.

Besides writing, Owen cooks, dances competitively, draws, collects vintage video game systems and is a musician who sings and plays piano, guitar, ukulele, and the banjo. He also enjoys comedy improv and acting in his sister, Lily Andrews' films; A Shift in the Bromance, and Johnny Jr. 

Owen got his nickname OPA because he is Greek-American. His family called him OPA because his initials spelled OPA, a Greek phrase used in celebration.
