Andy Hawthorne is a writer, developer manager, and occasional arguer-with-fictional-characters. He lives in Coventry with his wife Mary and a concerning number of coffee mugs.
His grandmother was born in Niton on the Isle of Wight—a notorious smuggling hotspot—which explains his unhealthy obsession with pirates, coastal paths, and wondering if customs officials still check for contraband tea.
Andy writes comedy novels and cyberpunk thrillers, sometimes in the same week, which keeps his brain confused but entertained.
