David Andrews
In 1997, David felt like an old propeller rusting on the beach after a working lifetime at sea. Then he remembered how he kept himself sane in the latter years of a 24/7 career in the offshore oil industry, retreating into the world of my imagination for an hour each day and writing fiction, accumulating a fair body of writing in the process. He didn't know if any of it was publishable, but there was only one way to find out.
Fourteen years later, he has won two national writing competitions, published fifteen stories as Amy Gallow and two as David Andrews, survived a heart attack on a remote golf course, and the failure of three publishers taking a number of his books with them. The survivors have strong romantic themes, but their details are taken from a life lived close to the cutting edge. The reviewers like them and it seems he is building a fan base as well.
