No Better View: A found manuscript

Andrew is originally from Melbourne, Australia -- now living in a small country town just outside Australia's capital city, Canberra. Despite a dislike for heat, sand, and treeless vistas, he spent 8 years living and working in the Middle East. He is an award-winning novelist who, like many awarded fiction writers, often pays the bills by writing and editing for other people. His most recent success came from Erasure making top 5 in the 2016 Montgrappa prize -- the pinnacle award at the Dubai International Festival of Literature. He has a Bachelor degree in Professional Writing & Publishing; minoring in Security, Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism. He: Runs slowly. Is a coffee snob. Hates elevator pitches. And is grateful for the support given to him by his partner of more than 20 years.
