Overview: Andrew Lawston is a London-based writer and actor, whose work began with short stories, which have been hailed as "funny", "quirky", "horrific" and "twisted". Often all at once. His work can be found in various anthologies, including Summer’s End, and A Treasury of Brenda & Effie, and his own self-published collections: Something Nice, and Something Nicer. A fluent French speaker and former teacher, Andrew also produces translations of French classics. Casanova’s "Story of My Escape" was published in 2014 to the delight of English-speaking Casanova enthusiasts around the world, and he has since completed two translations of Chantecoq adventures. Andrew is currently working on further translations, and more comedy science-fiction novels in his popular Starship Troupers Initiative universe.
