Andrew Luria is a seven-time Emmy Award-winning news and sports anchor and the author of The Adventures of Charlie Marley series.  He played college football and baseball at Cornell University, and semi-pro baseball for the Santa Barbara Foresters.  

When Andrew isn’t writing children’s books, he loves coaching his three kids in sports and also teaching an award-winning broadcasting class at their elementary school.  He and his wife enjoy spending time with their family at the beach near their home in Carlsbad, California, where they live with their two Boston terriers, Archie and Henry.  At one point or another, his family also had dogs named Charlie, Emma, Cooper, Muffin, Oakley, Buster, Dizzle, Rocky and Midnight--all names of characters that can be found in The Adventures of Charlie Marley.
