Andy Rivers - The Geordie Author

Hello and welcome to the e-home of Andy Rivers, author of 'I'm Rivelino', 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' and ooh much more!

Within these pages you'll be able to see extracts from my work thus far, links to my favourite sites and also my blog as well as regular updates and news on my writing exploits as they happen. What's more it's all gratis an all.....well, until I can work out how to stiff you for some cash anyway!

About Me

I'm an exiled Geordie currently working on my third novel whilst the first, ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ goes through the editing process in preparation for it's birth into the outside world on 12/07/10 and the second, 'Special', bounces around the desks of publishers and agents looking for a good home. Living in Oxfordshire however, hasn’t managed to shield me from the sheer misery of following Newcastle United as I still trail around the country being disappointed by them and write a regular column on their (mis)fortunes in the North East based football publication 'Players Inc.' 

My first book 'I'm Rivelino- A Life of Two Halves' was recently published by Byker Books. It's a bit of a tongue in cheek look at my life following Newcastle and you can get the blurb at BYKER BOOKS 

I've also had short stories published in the likes of 'Radgepacket - Tales from the Inner Cities', True Faith and Twisted Tongue. In fact I think that, given time, I could become a cult...mind you there are others that think I'm not far off being one now.

So have a look around my site, let me know what you think and...if you're a publisher/agent or just need some freelancing work doing then feel free to give me a call - I'm very reasonable!

Later.
