Andy Thomas is one of the UK’s best-known authors and lecturers on unexplained mysteries and cover-ups, as well as writing on history and folklore, and is the author of the books The New Heretics, Conspiracies, The Truth Agenda and Christmas: A Short History from Solstice to Santa, among many other titles. He speaks extensively in Britain and abroad at both mainstream and 'alternative' events, and his books have been widely praised as the finest available overviews of their subjects.

Andy's latest book, The New Heretics, published by Watkins Publishing in December 2021, is a brave and timely stand for real freedom of expression and an encouragement to establish real understanding of all those who question orthodoxy, whether they are agreed with or not. A better way forward – one that doesn't sanction blanket censorship – must be found.

For three decades, Andy has investigated truth and mystery subjects such as conspiracy theories and the paranormal (covering crop circles, UFOs, ghosts and other enigmas), making them accessible and avoiding polarisation with tantalising middle-ground to evoke discussion. He has appeared on many popular TV shows on the BBC, NBC, History Channel, National Geographic Channel and other global outlets, and has had major UK spots on The One Show, Richard and Judy, Esther, GMTV, and Sky TV's hit series Pineapple Dance Studios. Andy regularly features on radio programmes and podcasts around the globe, and appeared in the theatrically-released US documentary Crop Circles: Quest For Truth.

Andy is author of seven other books exploring the unexplained, including Fields of Mystery, Quest for Contact (with the late Paul Bura), and the classic Vital Signs: A Complete Guide to the Crop Circle Mystery, which has been described by many as the definitive guide to the circle controversy and was nominated for Kindred Spirit magazine's 2002 Best Book award. His book An Introduction to Crop Circles is another consistent seller and was updated in 2011. Andy is also author of four books on Sussex (south east England) local history. He has written for many journals and magazines, including Kindred Spirit and New Dawn, and he regularly contributes to the popular alternative journal Nexus Magazine.

A very busy lecturer, Andy is renowned for his striking and persuasive presentations on the unexplained, conspiracies, and festivals and folkore. His seasonal lectures on the history of Christmas keep him busy towards the end of each year. He speaks extensively across Britain and has also presented in other parts of the world, including America, Australia, Brazil, Peru and many European countries. Andy has given several thousand lectures during his years of ongoing speaking engagements, making him one of the UK's most prolific speakers. Andy’s presentations have brought often marginalised subjects into public venues to great success, and he regularly addresses established organisations, as well as making regular appearances at alternative groups.

Andy is founder of the Changing Times truth and mysteries group (www.changingtimes.org.uk) and is also co-organiser and presenter of the celebrated Glastonbury Symposium, one of the UK’s longest-running alternative events (www.glastonburysymposium.co.uk).

Andy’s always balanced and perceptive views on unusual subjects have become widely respected for giving credibility to areas not generally given the coverage they truly deserve.
