Steve: For starters, just tell us a
little about yourself.
Andy: I am the First Twin in "3twins." I live in
Indiana with my family where I am a full-time Associate Minister. At church I
get to work with many different groups of people from preschool, to youth, and

people where they are. I feel that 3twins is a great avenue to do that. We like
to meet people with our entertainment at whatever walk of life they are in.

story, and Jonathan, King Saul's son and David's best friend, was an elf. I took the ideas of a dragon and elf as well
as my thoughts of Samuel being a wizard, and translated them into the
characters of Xilva the elf, Gidju the dragon, and Marvin the Blue Wizard...
