Andrew Butters

Andrew Butters is a married father of two living in New Brunswick, Canada, and he will tell you that his first published work was Losing Vern as part of the Orange Karen: A Tribute to a Warrior anthology. In reality, it was a 500-word anecdote about the time he lit himself on fire. That story made it into the third installment of the Darwin Awards books and was the catalyst for writing Near Death By A Thousand Cuts: A Humorous Memoir of Misfortune. Not all his distinctions are as dubious as appearing in a Darwin Awards book. There was the time he participated in a trick on stage with Penn & Teller. He had a solid minute of screen time on the Super Dave Osborne Show. He scored a game-winning goal at Maple Leaf Gardens and even did an art swap with filmmaker Kevin Smith. He was also given three seconds of non-speaking airtime in a TV commercial, and who could forget when he appeared as a fighting homeless man in a rap video. He writes, creates, snacks, blogs, toils over his next novel, creates videos, and is a massive fan of golf, science, EQUALITY, and the Oxford comma. Andrew sometimes lets his love of attention override common sense. You can find evidence of this anywhere you find him.
