At nineteen, he joined the Royal Air Force as an airfield technician and started exploring the world beyond his small community. After nine years serving his country, Andrew pursued a career and further qualifications in technology, working on defence and commercial projects around the world. Andrew married a woman from his home county, and together they had three children. Their children, now adults with their own families, have influenced his writing and motivated him to create a legacy for them. As Andrew grew older, he decided to spend time reading science fiction and fantasy novels as a break from focusing on future technologies. This activity led him to imagine worlds based on creativity and life experiences, featuring varied characters dealing with relevant issues. He wanted to author stories about these worlds but lacked the time. After retiring from the high-tech industry, Andrew aimed to share these imagined worlds through storytelling.As Andrew's writing developed, it helped him focus on the world rather than his own problems. He realized that despite life's hardships, there is always hope. We live in uncertain times, but through all the challenges and darkness, a glimmer of light remains. Standing together through adversity can turn that glimmer into a beacon, even in the bleakest moments. This idea has been subtly present in Andrew's stories.

A fractured world. A buried weapon. One last chance to save it all. After uncovering the truth of his lineage and enduring a journey filled with loss, power, and betrayal, Morganuke stands at a crossroads. The land of Pagalan is in chaos. Denesthear, the ancient city of the Patronese, is on the brink of collapse. And the enemies threatening to destroy everything he loves are more determined-and more ruthless-than ever. But this time, Morganuke is no longer running from his destiny.
