Andrew Coville is an author and filmmaker whose work is rooted in the people, experiences, and unexpected moments that shape a life.
A Marine Corps veteran and retired police sergeant, Andrew’s path has taken him from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan to more than a decade in law enforcement, and ultimately to writing and filmmaking. His work explores friendship, war, loss, identity, and the moments that force us to reconsider who we are, what matters, and where we go next.
Somewhere in Between: A Marine’s Journey Through War, Loss, and Peace
Somewhere in Between is the twenty-year story of what came after war—a memoir of brotherhood, loss, survivor’s guilt, identity, and the long road home. From the battlefields of Afghanistan to a career in law enforcement and a near-death experience that changed everything, Andrew Coville reflects on the people and experiences that shaped his life and his ongoing effort to understand what it truly means to be “Living the Dream.”
A Story Years in the Making
Seventeen years after his childhood friend and fellow Marine Nicholas Xiarhos was killed in Afghanistan, Marine Corps veteran Andrew Coville survives his own near-death experience and begins a journey through their shared past—reconnecting with the family, friends, Marines, and commanders who knew Nick to understand who he was, what happened during the summer of 2009 in Helmand Province, and what Nick meant when he said he was “living the dream.”
