He was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, where he read a lot, played a lot of DUNGEONS \u0026amp; DRAGONS, and watched a lot of STAR TREK and DR WHO. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Creative Writing. If not for his ADHD, he presumably would've either majored in something more practical or written many, MANY more books. After a couple of decades spent New Yorkering, Drew is now back in the Philly suburbs with his wife Laura, best kiddo Sam, and cats Elsa, Dancer, and (omg why am I not done listing cats?) Kitten McTalkerson.","brand":"Ruesday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51384306565394,"sku":"9780999874820","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_495dc1cf-2c2d-4fda-be00-989756419b92.jpg?v=1750169398","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/percival-gynt-and-the-inevitability-of-fire-and-other-cases-9780999874820","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
