ANDREW O. JACKSON

Andrew O. Jackson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Franklin K. Lane H.S. For one year he attended a Journalism school in Manhattan before deciding to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. When Andrew left the Marines, he returned to New York and worked as a New York City Transit Bus Operator. The freedom and excitement of meeting people of all backgrounds and ages, coupled with his time as a marine further opened his imagination and experiences on a variety of literary topics. Andrew has been writing since the age of 12. Poetry, fables, a couple of novels, and short stories. He has not attempted to ‘publicly’ publish any of this literature until now. ‘Christmas for a Tree’ Just imagine if you will. A Christmas tree speaking out to you.
