About me - Andy Shackcloth

About me

I kick around in Arezzo, Italy and write whenever life stops getting in the way.

I have four children, who are nearly all taller and cleverer than me, and the most precious wife in the universe.

Not published anything yet, may never do, I have only recently stopped writing purely for myself.


Apart from writing I like motorbikes, films, reading, eating, ice cream, going out, theatre, working with my hands, learning science stuff and hugs.
Not big on booze, football, snobbery, narrow mindedness, bigots and selfish sods.

Love to laugh and eat ice cream.
Oh! And not that big on diets either.

Did I mention Ice cream?

Briefly me

My passion is ...

My Wife, Motorbikes, Ice Cream (I think I got the order right)

I know too much about ...

How things work. A Techie to the core, often "too techie" (GRIN)

My parents always told me ...

They did? Perhaps I should have listened.

My childhood ambition ...

Travel in space. (well I was a child)

My favorite memory ...

Walking my dog along the beach very early in the morning

Why I write ...

Good question, hang on whilst I scribble down an answer.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Mastering dialouge, In her shoes, The world going by, Writers FM, Wicked

My first job ...

(Ever - Cutting Grass), (In the morning - Coffee)

My best moment ...

Too nerdy, going to keep quiet on this one.

My inspiration ...

It puzzles me too, a never ending stream of ideas, but where oh where do they spring from?

It shouldn't be; it is the same technology that has placed usability and convenience as the most important features to the user. To know why eBooks are an effective way of publishing, we have to look at what is happening in the world. All around us there is a communication revolution quietly sweeping across the world.
