Andy Southall

Andy grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, spent too many years in the fog of London, then followed the long white cloud – and his wife – to Wellington, New Zealand. Always wanting to write, he completed a Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing. He writes contemporary fiction, science-fiction and travel.

His last novel, Both Feet in Paradise, was shortlisted for the New Zealand Booklovers Best Adult Fiction of 2022.

Reviews for Both Feet in Paradise:-

“The unravelling of Adam’s situation… is a really impressive piece of storytelling. It is one of those books that will resonate with many and take you on a journey both on the pages, and off.” Chris Reed, NZ Booklovers

“Southall… knows how to evoke a mood and build a mystery.” Dave Hill, Kete Books.

“Southall is a master of suspense, gratifying our smaller questions with answers a few pages later but withholding the bigger ones.” Shana Chandra, Landfall

His other books are One Hundred Days in Sāmoa, 28 Days in Sri Lanka (both travelogues), and Making Meredith (a novel).
