Andrew Cartmel was born in London and grew up in midwestern Canada where, among other things, he learned the meaning of the words wind chill factor.
Andrew Cartmel lives in London with too many books, too many records and just enough cats..
Most of it very good.
A playwright and crime novelist, Andrew created the Vinyl Detective while listening to a lot of music, most of it good.
At the same time, he began writing for comics and today he co-writes the Rivers of London graphic novels.
This led him into a detour -- and down a rabbit hole -- which included a distinguished sojourn script editing Doctor Who for three years (search Cartmel masterplan).
On returning to London to study at university, his game plan was to support himself writing for television while getting established as a novelist.
The fine public libraries of his childhood provided a rich feast (Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, the Oz books) and Andrew never wanted to be anything except a writer.
