Tristan
“Tristan is the first book about a young man that feels like one written by an old man that I’ve ever read. …feels like the work of a truly polished, mature artist.” – The Globe and Mail
“It is an adventure story. You can’t tell where it is going to go when it starts off. It truly treats the reader to a rip-roaring journey.’ – The New York Post
“Never was there a story so capturing one young man’s emotions. You may not be one for adolescent love, but it’s a story for the ages between Tristan and Maisie.” – The Sun-Sentinel
“As a story about Canada it treats the game with respect, and really captures the youth game with great accuracy. And its players, it sees and details with even greater accuracy.’ – Toronto Sun
“A great story, and an even better character. He’s so funny I quite wished he’d written me another five books.” – The Globe
“Never was there a better portrait of youth in today’s age… James’ talent is to be envied … and this book leaves nothing to be desired.” – Montreal Gazette

About the author
Andrew James
70 books15 followersAndy worked in commercial television, live events and brand consultancy before buying a contract publishing agency in 2005, which he ran until its sale in 2010. Since then he has worked as a media and business consultant, notably to an importer of delightful wine.
He spent his teenage years employed at the Whitehall Theatre, where he studied for school exams in the lighting box watching such formative productions as What, No Pyjamas? He is a pretty good cook and mediocre musician, has curated a significant art exhibition, climbed Snowdon, ridden motorcycles at ridiculous speeds, had poetry published in Magma Poetry magazine and spent three years living in a church in North Yorkshire, before being reclaimed by London. A lifelong Crystal Palace FC supporter, he is also a devotee of South Africa’s Western Cape. He lives in Southwest London.
Blow Your Kiss Hello is his first novel and a second is underway.

Really nice story. Didn't go where I was expecting it to. Surprisingly there's a sequel so I might read that.
