Andy Matthews

Andy Matthews is a dog lover, sporadic writer, and author of the novel All the Way. All the Way is the product of Covid but writing has been an integral part of his life for several decades. His working life spanned many bridges culminating with the completion of a BA [Hons] Degree with the Open University in 2013. Andy lives on an island two miles off the UK mainland. Nowadays, he spends his time walking his headstrong cocker spaniel, Fudge. Discussing a myriad of subjects with a diverse group of fellow dog walkers. Visiting family, avoiding shops, and with the time he has left—writing. He studied literature with the OU and was introduced to the work of Katherine Mansfield and other boundary-pushing writers of that era. Learning to read began at an early age. As a toddler, he accompanied his mother every day to the local library. She devoured romance novels like the peppermints she also loved. Latterly, he asked her why she always looked at the last page of each romantic novel befo
