Andrew Kirschbaum was born in Nebraska in 1967. Education, employment, and an overseas war kept the Kirschbaum family on the move for the next ten years, living in Nebraska, Iowa, Nevada, and Florida before settling in Massachusetts. In 1991, he started 3 Trolls Games & Puzzles - a traditional board game and puzzle store in Chelmsford, MA - with his family. In 2011 he collaborated with a group of friends and family to produce Verdigris, an interactive novel for the iPhone, iPad, and Droid; Monday and the Murdered Man followed. Monday and the Counterfeit Corpse was released in 2013. He is currently working on the next Monday adventure, another Verdigris interactive novel, and various live action role playing games.
