Andrew Harris wants to change the world through crime fiction. He is writing The Human Spirit Series, celebrating our success through science and technology over the last 150 years whilst asking the sharp questions about why we’re not making the progress we used to.
Where is the cure for cancer?
Why do we tolerate poverty and the human misery it creates?
How do we reverse climate change?
Why do we spend over $2 trillion every year creating weapons to kill each other?
How do we feed nine billion people without destroying the planet?
His debut novel, The C Clef, is still selling well on Amazon. His second book, A Litany of Good Intentions, was published through Faithful Hound Media with his third book, MORE, published in May 2020. His latest, Sky Station 7, was published in 2024. Book five in the six-book series of action, adventure, crime fiction thrillers is due for publication in September 2025. Andrew feels his writing career has only just started. He has big plans. So!
