Andrew Neiderman

Andrew Neiderman (born 1940) is an American novelist. He became the ghost writer for V. C. Andrews following her death in 1986. He formerly taught English at Fallsburg Jr./Sr. High School, in upstate New York. Neiderman is married to the former model Diane Wilson. They have two children, Melissa, a teacher in Rancho Mirage, California, and Erik, a jet pilot. They have three grandchildren: Dustin, a musician who attends College in Los Angeles, Hannah Rose, and Emily Grace, the latter two both models in LA.

Neiderman is arguably best known as the author of The Devil's Advocate, later adapted into a film of the same name, and the screenwriter who adapted Rain, based on a series of novels released under Andrews' name.

Andrew Neiderman has written the libretto for a musical stage adaptation of The Devil's Advocate.[1] In 2008 the rights to the musical version were obtained by producer Frazer Brown leading to a workshop of an early adaption of the musical performed in August 2010. In November 2010 the rights to the musical stage adaptation reverted back to Andrew Neiderman who is currently (as of 2011) developing a new script with revised music and lyrics under the representation of McLean-Williams Management,[2] with music composed by Dutch composer Sarif Tribou [3] and Barney Ashworth,[4] Musical Supervision by Mike Dixon,[5] and revised lyrics by SJ Hills.[6]

He also co-authored the screenplay for Duplicates, a USA cable movie of the week, and has had six other of his novels adapted into films.
