Andrew Ostrer spent most of his working life as a chartered surveyor and partner in a leading south-east firm of commercial estate agents.
One of his lifetime ambitions was to write a fiction thriller novel, and a few years ago he attended a number of WEA courses in creative writing and became a member of the Lingfield Writing Group.
In his spare time, he has been a volunteer and a supporter of two charities: SSAFA and more recently The Orpheus Centre.
He lives in West Sussex with his wife and has two grown up daughters.
