About Andy

Andy Astruc is a freelance writer currently based in Wellington, New Zealand. He is married to RJ Astruc (the author) and has stupid hair. He has been writing professionally for months and months, only recently discovering that people will pay you for word vomit.

He writes non-fiction work when he can and fiction when he is told. He also draws things that may or may not exist. He is available to do both of these things on commission. If you want his services, slip an e-number under his e-door.

Andy has a disgustingly passionate interest in video games, which shows in his work for gaming publication Gamefreaks and in his broken eyeballs. He also enjoys reading and writing about comics, films, TV, cartoons and general gadgetry. Social commentary comes up sometimes, as well.

He wishes he lived inside the TRON Universe. And that all music sounded like this or this.
