Andrew Hawcroft

First, a deep heartfelt thanks to those who have already bought my books, be it on Smashwords, Kindle, Amazon, Barnes&Noble, etc. I hope very much you enjoyed them.

I invite all my readers to stay up-to-date with my writing work, be it fiction, stageplay or screenplay, or simply to get in touch with feedback, on my blog at;

About me:
I was born in England, 1974. I'm a former gym instructor and in-house personal trainer, and I write, amongst other things, Young Adult fiction, specialising in a style I'd call gritty, 'reality-based fantasy.' My hobbies are fitness training, singing, amateur theatre and songwriting. (See Youtube under my name.)

I also write stageplays, and made my pro debut in November 2011 when my stage adaptation of four M.R. James ghost stories, which I called AN UNSETTLING EVENING, ran at the Palace Theatre, Southend, London.

I have written a musical based on THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and purely for my own pleasure, since it hasn't a hope of getting made, a fan-fiction stageplay based on DOCTOR WHO. I invite all Whovian theatre fans to send me an email, and I will happily send them a copy for their valued feedback. Some have kindly done so already. For their opinions, and opinions of my other work,please see the REVIEWS section of my blog.

I also write film screenplays, and sold the option to one, INGRID's BEACH in 2009 to a Dublin production company before the recession bit and funding was pulled. The option has been returned to me.

I also write TV drama pilots, pantomimes (some produced) and music.
