About

My name is Andy. I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

I’m a writer who draws. I create stories for your eyes. I write about the media, conspiracy, history, life, and health; education and entertainment (edutainment)

My current novel is Occupied, a story of Irish resistance with loads of humour There’s details at the top of this page.

My first novel, Axel America and the U.S. Election Race, predicted the rise of President Trump on the back fake news. Otherwise, it’s very funny stuff.

To read the comics I’ve drawn a lot of comics: stories of pop cult panto, conspiracy theory, nights on the town and a time travelling grandmother. For those, you want this click.

I’ve written a lot about about comics and the marvellous science magicians who make them: click here.
