Andrew was born on the 24th March, 1975 in Solihull, Birmingham, England, and emigrated to Australia in 1988. Andrew is married and lives in Cleveland, south of Brisbane. He has a dog named Eddie and a cat named Newman, which he will be happy to tell you about if you just ask him.
His first book, The Familiar’s Tale, was published in 2007, and recently won the prestigious Golden Wings Award (Fiction).
The Familiar's Tale is a fantasy to the extreme, where anything you might imagine happens. The invisible magical Invisus Island is the place where the amnesiac hero, Sam, grapples with ghost voices, talking animals, and crazy goings on as he struggles to remember just who he is. The Pharos Lighthouse keeper, Mayor Eric de Vries, and his 17-year-old daughter, Jessica, along with their various pets, help Sam to untangle his missing memories. They involve him in an ever unfolding battle between the Malcontenders and the Indice. The important thing he can’t remember is his heritage to the opposing mystical powers which are the foundation for all the island’s struggles between good and evil. But bit by bit he discovers he really is an important piece of the puzzle.
