About the author

Andrew Laurance is a pseudonym for writer Drew Launay. Drew used this name for his best selling Psychic Thrillers, for which some of the film rights were sold to Hammer House of Horror. The Nostradamus Lives Trilogy, Black Hotel, Ouija and Catacomb are all being republished in Kindle format. A new Psychic Thriller 'Deadly Games' will be published in print and Kindle shortly.

Drew Launay is the author of 56 books with subjects ranging from domestic trauma, psychic thrillers and erotic humour to non fiction on luxury foods, antiques, history, and travel as well as stage plays and scripts for films and television.

Born in London of French parents, he was educated in England, finished in France and escaped the pressures of London to write full time in Spain.

First married to a serene English fashion model he was divorced then married to a fiery, footstamping, mad as a sombrero Andalusian. From both he gained a great deal of valuable material and experience of life.

He is the father of three sons, Nick Launay a famous record producer, two in the film business, and Melissa Launay a successful illustrator-artist daughter.

Nem rossz. Az alapötlet elég jó: adott egy fiú, aki előre látja az emberek közeli halálát, és kommunikálni tud a halottak szellemével. Ehhez kapcsolódik mindenféle bonyodalom, mint például hogy mit szól ehhez az egyház, a sajtó, a közönség; hogyan tesztelik szerencsétlen fiút; a kilátástalan jövő és a még sötétebb múlt kibogozása… A halállal és a „túlvilággal” kapcsolatos elképzelés, a vele kapcsolatos elmélkedések érdekesek – akár igaz is lehet. Kevésbé tetszett a könyv kivitelezése, mintha egy gagyi alsó-kategóriás film összes kliséjét kölcsönvette volna az író. Ennek ellenére végig lekötött, és legalább túl sokat gondolkodni sem kellett.
