For three decades Andy has investigated many enduring truth and mystery subjects in a balanced and fair way, including conspiracy theories, freedom issues and paranormal subjects such as crop circles, UFOs and other enigmas, always finding tantalising middle-ground to evoke animated discussion. He also speaks passionately on mainstream history and folklore. Andy has appeared on many popular radio and TV shows including major UK spots on The One Show, Richard and Judy, Esther, GMTV and Sky TV’s hit series Pineapple Dance Studios, and on US shows such as Caught on Camera, with appearances on The History Channel and National Geographic Channel. He also featured in the US cinema-released documentary Crop Circles: Quest For Truth.
Andy’s latest book, The New Heretics, published by the renowned Watkins Publishing in December 2021, is a brave and timely stand for real freedom of expression and an encouragement to establish genuine understanding of all those who question orthodoxy, whether they are agreed with or not. A better way forward – one that doesn’t sanction blanket censorship – must be found. Andy’s earlier book Conspiracies: The Facts – The Theories – The Evidence was also published by Watkins Publishing in 2013 and updated in 2019 and has become a crucial overview for many people. It has appeared in several global editions, including Chinese and Czech translations.
Andy is author of several books exploring the unexplained, most famously The Truth Agenda: Making Sense of Unexplained Mysteries, Global Cover-Ups and Visions for a New Era. First published in 2009, it has seen several revised and updated editions since, including a US edition in 2015. The book has been a hit in both ‘fringe’ and mainstream circles, and was adopted as a sociology textbook at Canada’s Vancouver Island University.
Meanwhile, Vital Signs: A Complete Guide to the Crop Circle Mystery, has been described by many as the definitive guide to the circle controversy and was nominated for Kindred Spirit magazine’s 2002 Best Book award. His book An Introduction to Crop Circles has also been a bestseller in many British tourist outlets.
Andy is also author of the celebrated book Christmas – A Short History from Solstice to Santa, published by Ivy Press as a hardback in English speaking countries in 2019, and as a Spanish edition by Alma in 2021. He is also author of four books on Sussex history. See Books for more information on Andy’s writings.
Andy has written for many journals and magazines, including Kindred Spirit and New Dawn, and he regularly contributes to the popular alternative journal Nexus Magazine. Andy is the founder of Vital Signs Publishing, which has produced Geoff Stray’s influential book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy and Richard Smith’s A Future World Vision, both edited by Andy.
