edit data

Drew Johnson lives in inland Andalucía.

An author, musician and writer of funny poems (if you’re lucky enough to get a birthday card from him), Drew spends most of his time driving his wife, Chris, crazy.

Trying hard to stave off starvation, alcoholism and boredom, Drew writes mostly for pleasure … and the benefit of the Spanish Tax Authorities!

When not writing amusing memoirs of their life in the sun, Drew also writes the odd thriller under the name Andy Hughson, proving that he can be serious when he wants to be.

The expression “there’s nowt as queer as folk” is a popular northern saying that roughly translates in the King’s English as “there is nothing (NOWT) quite as strange (QUEER) as some people (FOLK)”. For me, it conjures up an image of that heartwarmin ...more

I love “the idea” of sailing … you know, pootling round the Greek islands or snorkelling in the Maldives … but learning the sailing craft off the coast of Scotland? Not for me, thanks. What about the Caribbean? Wouldn’t mind. By crossing the Atlantic? ...more
