About
Andrew Cahill-Lloyd is a teen books author.
The Visitors is an entertaining and insightful look at the world gone wrong from the point of view of two alien time travellers.
The book opens in the year 2032, with Bjorn and Zorn in orbit around earth witnessing the destruction of the planet.
Andrew spent ten years as a serving member of the Royal Australian Air Force and is a grandfather to 10 children: nine girls and one boy.
He has a keen interest in marine life and the environment and is a qualified veterinary nurse and a champion for animal rights.
He encourages people to adopt from shelters and rescue groups. Dax, the Maine Coon Cat in his novel, was was based on an actual rescue adoption.
In writing The Visitors, Andrew was heavily influenced by seeing a young child in the Ku Klux Klan.
"He has been taught that, it doesn't come naturally and I want to teach kids that there is a better way to live, and I'm trying to do that through my writing," Andrew said.
The original story was written back in 2014-15 and after a familiar literary journey of knockbacks, UK-based publisher Austin Macauley agreed to publish it
