Andrew Murray Howe V

Andy Howe is the creator of the Essential EXCUSE BOOKS series, including The Politician's Essential EXCUSE BOOK - recently #1 on the Amazon Hot New Releases in Entertainment List.

The "laughing and crying babies" picture of Andy pinching his cousin on the Essential EXCUSE BOOK covers is a viral internet meme. The picture was taken by his dad in 1958 using a 1919 Graflex press camera.

When not writing kid's books and smart-alecky excuse books Andy's real job is the President of Cranewoods Development (cranewoods.com), an award winning developer and real estate project and loan "fixer."
