Biography of Andrew Blencowe
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Andrew Blencowe discovered at an early age what it was like to live on the edge of life. During his high school years he dropped out to become a motorcycle racer.
Smitten by computers in his early twenties, he went on to become founder and CEO of an international software company with offices on five continents. It is his international perspective and a drive to challenge assumptions that influence his writing interests.
"This alternate history of WWII is also a reflection on modern-day economic and social missteps. When folks are clothed, Blencowe shows solid ability to write conversational interactions in a believable fashion, especially in the halls of power." - Foreword Clarion
