Andrew Ireland

Andrew Ireland was born in Birmingham in 1964, and moved to Cheshire a year before the new millennium. Recently retired, he spent over forty years working in food retail, with the past twenty-five years living with his wife, Tricia, and their two children, James and Bethany.

His hobbies include playing chess on a daily basis and training for his annual effort at the Blenheim Triathlon.

His love for Victorian literature began in his mid-twenties, and Unwelcome Legacies is influenced by both that and Tricia’s holiday fiction, which he reads on the beach in the South of France.

His favourite author is probably Anne Bronte, his favourite beer is definitely Timothy Taylor’s Golden Best.
