Andrew McDonald is a writer from Melbourne, Australia. He knew he wanted to be a writer from the age of eight when he realised his best skill in life was Making Stuff Up. He's been making up stories and writing them down ever since. In his research for Son of Death, Andrew visited lots of graveyards and crypts, attended a Death Cafe (where ordinary people gather to discuss death), and even wrote some of the book in an ex-funeral home. Spooky! His first book is called The Greatest Blogger in the World and features a kid called Charlie who wants to use his blog to Be the Hero, Get the Girl and Save the Day.
