Some authors dare not cross the line. International Best-selling author Andrew Mackay makes it his starting point.
A novelist, screenwriter and former teacher, Mackay is the creator of groundbreaking satire series ‘In Their Shoes’; the hilarious and often shocking journey of fictional newbie journalist Joy Attwood. The first two books in the series (The Teacher and The Actor) are best sellers in Amazon’s “satire” category (UK and US).
Self-proclaimed "Antisocial Justice Warrior" Mackay is also founder of Chrome Valley Books - “The Home of Dangerous Fiction”. Never knowingly inoffensive, his works often contain a ruthless commentary on society, delving into the more darker and disturbing machinations of modern life - but always with a sense of humanity and wit.
His influences include John Cleese, Tom Sharpe, Kurt Vonnegut, James Patterson, Hunter S Thompson, Douglas Adams, Imogen Edwards-Jones, Michael Frayn, Chris Morris, Jerry Sadowitz, Christopher Hitchins, Bill Maher, George Carlin, Milo Yiannopoulos and Larry Cohen.
One of the UK's most dedicated provocateurs and contrarians, his obsessions include (and are essentially limited to) unhealthy amounts of: smoking, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, sex, arguing, fighting, vandalism, conjuring up hilarious and nasty situations for his characters and writing about himself in the third person.
