Roly Andrews

Hi and welcome to my website. 

I’m Roly Andrews, the author of The Iju Trilogy and Baikonur Bitch. At present, I’m working on Executive Deciept (Working Title), a timely story of misdirection and illusion in the smoke and mirrors of Presidential life in Washington. 

Afterwards, it will be time to complete the Iju Trilogy with the third instalment – Roar of the tiger.

Beyond this, a major re-write of my first Novel, Larry and the Lap dancer.   

My cup truly runneth over! 

Kia atawhai, kia noho haumaru

About me

Big hearted, aspiring author, reluctant gardener, arrogant and stubborn, a champion for the disadvantaged; there must be at least 1001 descriptions you could use to try and describe me. And to be honest, they probably still wouldn’t capture my essence entirely. In my case a picture does not describe a thousand words. Its amazing what… Continue reading About me

The Super Killers Ball

I’m an anti-vaxxer and Covid denier. A mighty proud one to boot. So much so, that last month I stood in the General Election. I polled 211 votes but would have polled more if people weren’t afraid to be associated with me. People are scared these days you see, afraid to speak their real minds,… Continue reading The Super Killers Ball

A world of traffic

Then I giggled all the way back to London. What an utterly and perfectly absurd creation of civil engineering! And then,… Continue reading A world of traffic
