Colonel Fowler

Colonel Fowler—publishing under both his pen name and his given name, Andrew Fowler—has written an astonishing 65 books that span gothic horror, psychological thrillers, paranormal mystery, and slapstick comedy. A Georgia native, Fowler grounds his storytelling in the South’s haunted soil but carries it into realms that balance fear, absurdity, and the strange questions that won’t let go.

Fowler’s themes are as varied as his imagination: ghosts that refuse to rest, paranormal puzzles, twisted human minds, and comedic chaos that explodes in his Geezers Save the World series. His voice, which he describes as “painfully honest,” reflects a lifelong pursuit of truth in both the beautiful and the grotesque. He writes not for awards or accolades, but for the simple joy of creation, hoping readers will walk away asking “why?” and “how?”

Beyond the page, Fowler paints, travels widely, and immerses himself in the wilderness, where quiet reflection often fuels new ideas. For him, storytelling is not only about entertainment but about leaving behind a literary legacy—something that endures. His guiding philosophy is simple: life itself is a great adventure when you ask, why not?
