Andrew Klavan: The Biography

By Ak Press

Andrew Klavan's journey is one of transformation, both in his personal beliefs and his literary career. Born on July 13, 1954, in New York City, he was raised in a secular Jewish household in Great Neck, Long Island. As one of four sons of Gene Klavan, a popular New York disc jockey, and Phyllis, a homemaker, Klavan grew up in a home surrounded by storytelling, humor, and media.

His passion for literature took him to the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a degree in English Literature. Initially working as a reporter and radio news writer, he soon realized that his true calling was in fiction. Thus began his career as a crime writer, adopting the pseudonym Keith Peterson for his early works. Under this name, he introduced the world to The John Wells series, following a crime-solving journalist, and wrote his first psychological thriller, The Scarred Man.
