edit data

Andy Leeks grew up in Watford and moved to Kent in 2011 for a taste of the quiet life.

Andy started writing his first book, "As They Slept" almost by accident. After a heartfelt Facebook post fell on deaf ears, Andy decided he needed to prove a point.

As They Slept was released on 14th December 2012 and has been described as "witty, pithy and extremely well written". It has been compared to the work of Dave Gorman, Danny Wallace, Jeremy Clarkson and David Mitchell.

On the 30th March 2013, Andy released his second book, imaginatively titled As They Slept - Part 2 and on the 10th August 2013, his third instalment, titled rather unsurprisingly As They Slept - Part 3 was released. ...more

Another Busy Year….

With the passing of yet another enjoyable Christmas and New Year period, I find myself looking forward to what this year has to offer, certainly in terms of my writing. I’ve always followed a similar regime and it goes something like this.

Quotes by Andy Leeks (?)

“To this day, I’ve never understood why McDonald’s sell a range of salads. To me, that’s like a funeral director selling life insurance or a dentist selling sweets.”
― Andy Leeks, Minimize Me: 10 Diets to Lose 25 lbs in 50 Days

“Going to the seaside in winter is like seeing your partner first thing in the morning. Ugly, depressing and troubled by wind.”

“Let the cakes be the bastard boyfriend. Let the takeaways be the ghastly girlfriend. For me, alcohol and cigarettes were the girlfriends who cheated on me, and I’ll never see them in the same light again. You might ask why I haven’t succeeded with this same approach when it comes to food, and this is where I’m willing to accept that my magical technique falls a little flat. It was easy for me to accept that cigarettes and alcohol were responsible for shortening my life, but I have trouble accepting that the same applies to cakes. Call me a sucker, but I keep on giving the ghastly girlfriend another chance, even though she’s made it clear that she’s going to carry on cheating. Perhaps if I were unfortunate enough to suffer from a debilitating illness such as a heart complaint or diabetes, I’d grow a pair and ditch her.”
