Andrew Powell-Thomas

Somerset based author Andrew Powell-Thomas writes children’s fiction, military history and local heritage books.

“Not many people write both fiction and non-fiction but I enjoy the challenge of writing in two very different styles. As a children’s author I want to produce books that are inspiring, entertaining, easy to read and tell a great story! As a historical writer, research is paramount, I try and view the different aspects with fresh eyes whilst being factually accurate.”
