He's written articles and video scripts on history for resource sites such as History.com and War History Online.Andrew's fiction is a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, and historical settings. His published work includes over seventy short stories, two novellas, and an alternate history military thriller, The Bear's Claws, co-written with Russell Phillips. Andrew's comic career began when he entered Top Cow's 2013 talent hunt. Since then, he's written for Top Cow and Commando, with Commando scripts stretching across a thousand years of history, from the Battle of Hastings to Vietnam and The Falklands War.
