About Me

Click on the book to purchase. The Truth Behind The Eyes Website: www.andrewczinn.comMy name is Andrew C. Zinn. I am originally from Nebraska and relocated to Alabama in Jr High. I played football and basketball in High School. After High School, I attended GSCC for a year or so and quit to pursue music. I have done Vocals for the bands Zero, Unrelent, Mouth Full of Fist, Trokar, and Black Ink For A Black Letter. My current musical project is called Head Not Found a Death Metal/Metal band. I decided that on my downtime from my job and music, I would write a book. I had journals of lyrics and stuff that I had written. I turned them into a book and created 'The Truth Behind The Eyes'. It is available at almost all online bookstores or you can go to your local bookstore and ask for it by name. They will order it for you. And for you local friends. I have a few copies at Playtime Comics in Anniston and at the Sound Shop in the Quintard Mall . You could describe 'The Truth Behind The Eyes' as the journal of a psychopath or as poetry for the apocolypse. My website is www.andrewczinn.com . If you read the book you won't forget it. I hope it will scar you for life. "Trailer parks are filled with madmen and prophets Ex-con fighters and unknown poets"-Michael D. Williams
