Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Brought up to value thinking and making equally, Andrew’s first degree was in English Literature and Fine Art. After ten years in graphic and product design he gained an MA in Visual Culture at Bath Spa University and began a second career encouraging art and design students to rediscover writing as a tool of creative thought and expression. A lifelong interest in aspects of Japanese culture led to an extended trip in 2011 in the aftermath of the tsunami, assisting and observing participants in spectacular Shinto rituals of horseback archery. The Arrow Garden is his first novel. It was the winner of The Bath Novel Award 2020. Andrew lives in Bath, England. When not writing he is to be found riding strange bicycles or, very occasionally, practicing traditional Japanese archery.
