About this author

Andrew Jacobson is the co-author of the international best-selling series, The Familiars, and Starbounders.

I'm a Wisconsin transplant living in Los Angeles. Pop culture junkie. Sports fan. Grew up on healthy diet of Star Wars and Amblin movies. Now I'm living the dream, creating stories that I would have loved as a kid. The fourth book in The Familiars series comes out this winter. In June, my new middle grade sci-fi adventure, Starbounders, will be available everywhere!


Please watch the brand new Book Trailer for "The Familiars" and the Meet Adam and Andrew video on Awesome Adventures. Here's the link!

In the homestretch - curious to see how it all ends - but so far so good. I HIGHLY recommend The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Hoping this will be a satisfying conclusion. Haven't LOVED it up to now.

Geez, I'm no where near that, but I do write...alot.

I've got a few chapters of my stuff on display, if you want to ..."


Hi! I just read the prologue of your story. Very cool. It sounds like a neat idea and you should definitely keep at it. Of course there's a lot of vampire stuff out there (which may or may not be a good thing for your story) but my biggest piece of advice to any aspiring writer is three words: butt plus chair. In other words, just take the time every day to sit in front of the computer and WRITE!
